Hello,


How much excess watts does the T7 produce?

 

How many pieces of heated gear can the T7 take without issues?


Jacket

Max Heat: 135° @ 77W
Power 12V DC 6.4 Amp


Gloves (each)

Max Heat: 135° @ 13W Each
Power: 12V DC 1.1 Amp Each

 

Pants

Max Heat: 135 F @ 44W
Power: 12V DC 3.6 Amp

thanks

I have a jacket and gloves and the volt meter doesn't change when i turn them on.

As far as I remember, the T7 has a very powerful alternator, 400W or so. It's actually good to "consume" the generated electrical power, because it otherwise will just be dissipated somewhere else.

I run a 90W heated jacket, heated gloves and heated grips and my volt meter doesn't drop below about 13.6v while above idle.  I would say the only caution would be is to not idle for extended periods with all this stuff running.

I think even idle should be no problem. But no real idea how much wattage is needed for ECU  and plugs and so on. Or at which voltage it will fail.
