I’ve been refining the “Rechargeable Heating Vest CV202DZ”.
It runs on Makita batteries, but… the battery is way too large.
It’s very difficult to wear and work in.
I’ve made it lighter and more compact using a trigger cable and mobile battery.
I want to share a setup that can be used all day.
This is possible if you have access to an outlet for charging.
I decided to use two of these.
A 20000mAh battery is too large.
It lasts about 6 hours, but with all the standing and sitting, I keep worrying about the battery.
I think swapping out 10000mAh batteries every 3 hours is the best approach.
The fact that it plugs directly into an outlet is incredibly convenient.
When the battery runs out after 3 hours, I swap it out and charge it. That way I’m good all day long.
Palm-sized with large capacity and high output.
Plus, it charges in about 2.5 hours, which is perfect timing.
The thickness is just right and looks sleek.
XMHL USB-C PD Trigger Cable 12V-5A
Without this, you can’t output 12V from the battery.
Be aware that batteries have fixed output voltages.
↓ Same model is safer.

Both the sides and back can smartly store the battery.
With the battery inside, it bulges a bit, but it’s not noticeable at this level.
I wear it almost every day at work.
It’s incredibly warm, and so far it’s holding up great. One bonus is that wearing it keeps your clothes from getting dirty as easily.
The color and color scheme have nice texture and look great ◎.
I don’t think it looks too industrial.
The dual zippers have their pros and cons, but I’m in favor.
What do you do when you need to use the bathroom?
With dual zippers, you just lift the bottom one slightly.
Snapped a photo while looking at my phone.
You can trigger the camera app shutter… it’s a scary time we live in.
You should buy a smaller size if possible.
I’m 175cm tall and wear size S. It would be great to try it on first.
I was honestly skeptical, but… it’s amazing.
It doesn’t get super hot, but it feels like having “a hand warmer on your back and neck”. It’s a gentle, pleasant warmth.
• Warm
• Clothes don’t get dirty or torn as easily
• Naturally encourages carrying a mobile battery (though other uses require a cable)
While it costs a bit, being able to work in good condition is truly important.
