Pnuma Heated Vest Battery

[camping1601]

Has anyone found a larger battery that fits?
Really like the vest minus the battery life.

I haven't yet. I bought 2 batteries so I could get thru most of the day on low. Would be nice to have one that lasts longer on medium and high.

I also have a second battery, but it's real pain to change in a tree with my safety harness on. If not for loosing the lifetime warranty, I'd replace the connector with a longer one that fit a larger battery.

I’m pretty sure I found one last spring based on one of these forums. I’m traveling for work and can check in few days

I'm working on using 2 18650 in series (2x 3.7v = 7.4v), I'll update if I end up building a box.

The plug is negative outer plug, positive inner plug, per the charger. The charger plug is 3mm across, 1.5mm inner. These are approximate, my calipers has a dead battery.

I'm just about ready to cut the connector off and solder on one to fit a bigger battery but I'll wait to see how you make out. A longer cord would be nice because then the battery could be placed in the cargo pocket of your pants making battery swaps much easier.

Any update on this project?

Unfortunately I never got around to it. Now that it's going to start getting cold again, I should probably look into it again.

Any updates to this project? Did anyone find a better battery?

Anyone find a compatible generic?

Here's what I came up with. Sometimes the vest turns off and I have to unplug and reconnect and turn the vest back on again? Most of the time it'll run all day with no problems.

That's the battery that I was thinking about picking up. At $20 it's too cheap for me to justify the time and materials to make my own.

This has been working flawlessly now. Im not sure why it was temperamental at first. I've been charging it with a high watt usb c computer charger.

Thank you! Going to give this a try.

Does it fit in the battery pocket on the vest?

 

[camping1601]

Yes. I think the issue with it being figity is the connection isn't the most secure. I have that problem with the oem battery and charger.
