Maximizing Battery and Fabric Life
Active heated handwear requires specific handling to preserve both electronic components and outer textiles. Lithium-ion battery packs deteriorate when subjected to deep discharge states during off-season storage. Similarly, aggressive machine washing can dislodge internal connections and degrade the water-resistant coating on the 300D ripstop shell.
Daily Care and Off-Season Storage
Follow these baseline maintenance habits to keep your gear operational across multiple winters:
- Battery Cycling: Disconnect batteries after each outing. If storing gear for the summer, charge the cells to roughly two-thirds capacity and store them in a cool, dry location.
- Surface Cleaning: Spot-clean the textured polyurethane palm and nylon shell with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the glove or put it in a tumble dryer.
- Air Drying: If the interior fleece lining absorbs sweat, prop the gloves open in a well-ventilated room away from direct heating radiators.
Warranty and Support Access
If you experience uneven heating or battery connection drops, inspect the terminal pins for dirt or lint. Clean the contacts with a dry cotton swab. For unresolved hardware defects or operational issues within the warranty window, reach out directly to customer support with your order number for repair or replacement processing.
