A variable controller is
essential to control the temperature in heated motorcycle, ATV or
snowmobile gear. An on/off switch will always operate the heated
clothing at full power. Not only will this often be uncomfortable,
it also places excessive strain on your bike's electrical system and
your heated gear. A common error is to confuse puls-width
modulating controllers with old school rheostats. A rheostat is a
variable resistor. Although it limits the amount of power reaching
your heated garment, it does not lower the amount of power used by
the gear. Pulse-width modulating controllers use state of the art
electronics to cycle the current on and off and actively reduce the
amount of amps drawn on your electrical system. We do not sell
rheostat controllers.
We divided our selection of
controllers over 3 pages. DC Coax connectors, SAE connectors or
heated grip controllers (without connectors). DC Coax is the most
common type and used by 95% of all heated clothing manufacturers.
Pretty much all are using the standard 2.5mm DC Coax connector. SAE,
or often referred to as a Battery Tender plug, is found on some
older gear and a few less well established brands. If you have older
Widder heated clothing, Widders proprietary 2 prong connector is no
longer available. |
