Heated grips

First topic message reminder :

I brought these on e-bay about 18 m0nths ago ,have no idea why ,but it could have been the price $5 yes $5 ,delivered .
The idea is the same as my $70 heated grips which work great .
If a person was to buy an low-off-high switch .$12 to replace the on-off switch .
Add a resistor $2 for the LOW setting .
You have heated grips for $19

Sorry thread dredge here Gus. With using that resistor does it come out to 50%?

50% ?????????  Have you bee looking at my school report card ?

Sorry not with you ?

Hang on, low ,50% of high ? (if so ) no idea.
On high its nearly too warm so I only need low .

Hey Gus,

If you only want low heat then wiring the grips in series will probably achieve what you need. The only way to really know is to try it I guess.

If this is the case you can forget about any fancy switching and resistors.

Doing that you get 25% heat which is to low.

It has been suggested to me that one teaspoon of cement powder sprinkled on your breakfast cereal should make up the shortfall.
