Can I Interchange Batteries from Different Heated Jackets?

Because of the battery-operated design, a heated jacket becomes increasingly popular. Compared with traditional jackets, it’s a better option for those who always stay in freezing environments. Users only need a battery to power the heated jacket to generate different levels of warmth, which allows you to get rid of heavy clothes.

Or we can say a heated jacket cannot work without a battery. Sometimes it’s upsetting to find the battery stopped working while some users would like to use another heated jacket battery to fix it. Does it work? We hope this passage can lead you to find the answer.

Heated Jacket Battery Introduction

Generally, a heated system consists of heating elements, heating settings, and batteries, in which the batteries are the key. If users want to turn on the heated jacket, they need to plug the battery into the pocket cable, press the power button, and the heat can cover the heating elements. So, we can say the battery is indispensable.  

Most heated jacket batteries are made of lithium because of their excellent performance. But not all batteries are the same. They are mainly varied in capacity and voltage to power different numbers of heating elements and provide different working hours. Typically, the capacity ranges from 4,800 to 10,000, and the common voltage is 5V, 7.4V, and 12V. Also, the battery life depends on the heating level you choose, ranging from 3 hours to 10 hours.

Can I Interchange Batteries from Different Heated Jackets?

There’s no absolute answer. To be honest, it depends on the heated jacket you buy.

If you would like to interchange different heated jacket batteries from the same brand, it may be work but the premise is the voltage is the same. For example, Venustas has 3 types of batteries: 5K battery (7.4V), 7.5K battery(7.4V/12V), and 10K battery(7.4V/12V). All the Venustas 7.4V heated jackets can use these three types of batteries. So, it means that you can interchange 7.4V heated jacket batteries. However, please note that 5K batteries cannot be used with 12V jackets. This is due to differences in voltage requirements, and USB port design. 12V heated jackets are compatible with 7.5K battery and 10K battery. 

If you would like to interchange different heated jacket batteries from different brands, it's generally not recommended. Each heated apparel brand typically designs its products with specific voltage requirements, connector types, and USB port configurations. As a result, batteries from one brand are usually not compatible with jackets from another. To ensure safety and optimal performance, it's best to use the battery specifically designed for your heated jacket model.

All in all, if you would like to interchange the battery, we suggest that you use the same voltage battery from the same brand to prevent any potential risks. Also, don’t use other power banks to charge the heated jacket.

Heated Jacket Battery Instructions

A battery gives heating elements power to generate warmth, mainly determining the heating hours. So, it’s essential to care battery for stable performance.

• Charge the battery before storing. While the weather becomes warm and you plan to put the clothes aside, please remember to charge the battery.
• Don’t overuse the battery and charge the battery in time.
• Don’t expose the battery to liquid, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures to prevent any risk, like a short circuit, or even explosion.
• Don’t squeeze and drop the battery to maintain a good outlook and performance.

Also, if you find the battery not working, please read our troubleshooting guide for further diagnosis. Or you can directly contact customer service to seek help.

Conclusion

All in all, not all heated jacket batteries can be interchanged. Normally, the same voltage batteries from the same brand can replace each other. Also, don’t forget to read the heated jacket battery instructions and follow the tips while using.
