How To Choose a Pair of Heated Insoles
Because all heated insoles rely on electric heating elements, they all require a power source. Usually, this comes in the form of a battery pack which charges the insoles. You can buy heated insoles together with a compatible battery (called a kit) or you can buy the insoles and batteries separately, allowing you to have a spare pair of insoles charged up and ready to go.
The battery you choose will depend on how long you want to be able to use your heated insoles before recharging. Our most powerful batteries (1700) will stay warm for up to 17 hours, depending on the heat intensity setting you choose. Please see the table below for more information on heating duration.
What Does the 'B' Mean in '1700B Battery'?
The 'B' stands for Bluetooth! These batteries are Bluetooth enabled, allowing you to easily control the heat pads in your insoles using your smartphone. Available for both iOS and Android, the app provides you with the ability to adjust the heat level whilst you're on the move.
