I have a Gerbing heated jacket which is just fine for me. I want to buy a generic 12v battery pack / power bank. Nothing on ebay seems to hit the mark. Any suggestions welcome.

Plug it in to the bike.

Fit a fag lighter socket to the bike battery and use that.

Thanks. I forgot to mention a crucial point of the question. I want to use the jacket when cycling as well as motorbiking. smile

I’ve got a heated waistcoat and use one of these...

12V DC Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack for CCTV Camera 6800mAh with UK Plug Charger (Black Case) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00F2L1KI8/ref=cm_sw_r...

Unfortunately not available at the moment.

Whatever you buy - ensure that it can supply the current drawn by your heated clothing. I initially had a Keis full jacket which drew 77w which was too much. I changed it for a waistcoat.

What’s wrong with the batteries from the heated jacket maker?

Milwaukee have a range of 12v power tools with the m12 range which also has a heated jacket option, the jackets get power from an adapter that goes onto one of the batteries and outputs 12v

Have you seen the price of Keis batteries?
