Electrical Output?

[the Ferret]

Okay...who has sufficient experience to summarize/conclude on this thread for me? I've been seriously considering purchase of a heated jacket liner and heated gloves...should I cancel that plan, given what's been disclosed about the limitations of the CB1100 electrical system? I'm very concerned that a company like Powerlet is suggesting the CB1100 is not suited for heated gear.

Also, how much of what's been discussed translates into real world concerns. In other words, who (other than Ole) has been running heated gear and what are your experiences?

If the consensus is that gloves and a jacket liner are okay, what specs should I look for in these items to ensure I don't overburden the CB1100 electrical system?

I can't speak to the CBs capacity, but First Gear make a liner for low capacity bikes at 65 watts and one for high capacity bikes at 90 watts.
