Gerbing 5 Ah, battery kit

The Gerbing 5-Ah battery is the ideal power source for Gerbing heated motorcycle gear when long operating times are required without relying on the vehicle’s electrical system. This high-performance, rechargeable lithium-ion battery is particularly well-suited for heated motorcycle gloves and ensures a reliable supply of heat even on longer rides.

In addition to the battery, this practical set includes a waist belt with a storage pouch and a matching charger. This allows you to carry the battery comfortably on your body and recharge it as needed.

Please note: The 5-Ah battery is not compatible with the Gerbing heated jacket (inner lining). The corresponding 10-Ah battery set is required for this purpose.

Note: When used with Gerbing gloves manufactured before 2019, a long Y-cable is also required.

Notes

• Top off the battery a little bit whenever you can. Lithium-ion batteries don’t handle it well when they’re first fully charged and then completely discharged. They perform much better when they’re topped off a little here and there.
• If you need to store your battery for a while, keep it in a cool, dry place. Lithium-ion batteries do not tolerate heat. A Li-ion battery exposed to temperatures of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit for a year loses about 40 percent of its total capacity. At 75 degrees, the loss is only about 20 percent.
• Store batteries with some charge remaining. When storing batteries, charge them to about half capacity first. Over time, they’ll slowly lose their charge, and if the charge level drops into the dangerous “true-zero” range, your battery will automatically trigger its safety circuit and shut down permanently before it can become unstable.
• Avoid physical stress. Drops and impacts can damage batteries and cause leakage—all of which is bad for the electronics.
• The first step toward healing is acceptance… No matter how often you bring it back to life, your battery will one day give up the ghost—or at least become a shadow of its former self. That’s physics. It’s inevitable. Most lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifespan of about 500 to 1,500 charge cycles.
