Heated Vest works fine on battery but you need 2 if you are riding all day. plugged into the dashboard with a USB extension cord but it didn't work.

Heres the specs off the vest battery and the charger I tried plugging the vest into.

Can i get a more powerful charger? More amps? Not sure how to read the specs on this but i would like to delete this battery!

Your link to the "Heated Vest" did not open for me, so I can't tell what you have. Need more info on the vest and battery.

That's probably not a "charger." it is a 12 volt cigarette lighter "adaptor." What kind of output does it have? A USB socket? Something else?

the vest is listed as 5V3A
i plugged it into a 12v cigarettle lighter adaptor with the usb socket and ran the power to the vest with a USB extension cord and i didn't feel the vest heat up.
so i'm not sure how to read the specs on the "adaptor" (the string of numbers between the parenthesis) or if there is an adapter available that will at least match the output of the battery? which is listed as 5V and 3A
just wondering if you all have any experience with this sort of thing thanks

thanks for the responses. since this is a relatively low powered vest i was hoping you all had a trick to run it off the dashboard power. i'll abandon this project and just use the battery for now and get a more powerful vest next winter!
