I have the gerbing xr12 heated gloves, can be battery powered or run off of the bike (I haven't tried this yet but apparantly warmer??). They keep my hands toasty on my commute to work as I suffer from cold hands and i only ride for 10 mins!
They are quite pricey but do work well, the main drawbacks being I find them a little bulky having medium sized hands and the battery in the cuff is a little cumbersome but well worth it for warmer hands this weather.
Cant really comment on how long the batteries last as I only have them on in the mornings for the short commute and dont bother for the evening ride home, usually turn them on before i head out to garage and they are nice and warm before i leave on the bike.

I bought a set of the RST Paragon ones because they have better armour than the other ones I was looking at. Plus they don't need to be hooked into the bike, not so bad on a tourer, but a bit of a raffle on a naked.
So far they're excellent, nice and toasty and at least 3 hours battery on the minimum setting.
Not sure how well they'd last on full power in sub zero temps mind.
