Can I use a more powerful battery in heated gloves? Instead of a 3.7 V battery, use a 7.4 V Li-Po battery?

Is it possible to use heated gloves instead of a battery with

3.7V, 3800mAh lithium polymer

the much cheaper

7.4 V, 3000 mAh lithium polymer models?

The form factor and connection are suitable. The main question is whether the 7.4 V battery could cause damage to the heated glove (heating wire) or whether the voltage is irrelevant.

Of course, the tension here is important and your project will end with the glove/heating device being destroyed.

Hi, all of them answered correctly, no annealing for the future, looking for the same tension, higher leaching (Ah) is possible, then you can heat longer.

Your idea is a very bad one. At double voltage, the four-fold power is converted into the heating wires. They don't last long, your fingers probably don't.

the battery you want to use has too high voltage. by breaking the gloves.

the battery is therefore not suitable.

not what you wanted to read. but unfortunately so.

If his hands are stuck in the gloves, he could also get it painful…

correct. if the heating wires burn through during wear, the hands are also grilled.

I didn't think so.

Thank you!

a glow lamp is obtained just as if too high voltage is applied to ohmic load. a short glow and crisp… out the mouse.

I'm just stupid when the pen is glowing away while trying to save.

good that we are and good that he asked 🙂

You're welcome. Thought only, mention if one already comes to such ideas… A colleague has mounted on his 3D printer a 40 w heating shade 12 v – to 24v system. The part has developed enough temperature for seconds to elute until it is always annealed… But horny video….
