This is targeting a very select group, but, any one arm riders who want a new glove? I ordered new batteries for my heated gloves from Zarkie in Australia. They cant send lithium batteries by air unless they are part of a product, so, the batteries came tucked into a brand new, right hand, size XL, model MC-325 heated. Powered by a wired plug to the bike power. This model: https://www.zarkie.com.au/product/heated-motorcycle-carbon-gloves/?v=3a1ed7090bfa

Free to a good home.

PM sent. Thanks man.

Will get it away today. It did not come with the wiring harness but it looks like a pretty standard socket from a 12 volt plugpack/wall wart . I have a bunch of odd plug packs at work, will see if there is anything that fits. Worst case would be having to buy the cable from Zarkie. Hope it works for you, the 7volt battery powered gloves I have are sooo good.

Seems a high price to pay for a free glove. :facepalm:

Hiya OAB, hope this finds you well.

...... I ordered new batteries for my heated gloves from Zarkie in Australia. They cant send lithium batteries by air unless they are part of a product.......

Had that problem a few weeks ago. The 3.7v lithium battery on one of my Sena helmet to helmet comms units failed and I couldn't find a replacement in NZ. Got onto AliExpress and found one there at US$8 so started the ordering process. All good until the freight charge popped up - approx US$170!!! :eek5: . Apparently, DHL have a special cargo plane but the rates are astronomic. Cancelled the order there and then and fortunately, a friend had a spare.

Not just any glove my friend, a heated glove.

I'm well thanks, every day is a 100 battles but of more importance 100 victories, and I'm not out of fight yet.
