I do not have heated grips on my bikes, but have ridden bikes with them. They're great. Allows you to wear less bulky gloves with improved feel for the controls, all year long. But when you have multiple bikes, it becomes a pretty expensive proposition. So, I have heated gloves for winter.
The thing is, I ski, so I have battery powered ones, and they work great for both ski and bike. Made by Gerbing, but the brand is Volt, I believe. I also have a battery heated vest. the rechargeable batteries last for 4 or more hours at middle level heat, which is more time than I'll be out in cold weather anyway. You can buy extras as well. If you're a fully committed winter rider, then the wired- up Gerbing, First Gear or other brands are the the ticket. Plus heated grips!
