Does it matter what kind of battery they have - nimh vs lithium ion?
I also threw in the clips that I guess slide over the power strap so the battery packs aren’t on the back of the boots - remembered people mentioning that otherwise they get hit by chairs.
And did you do anything special for installation or just follow whatever directions come with them? I know I’ve seen posts about where the wire runs, taping things down, doing this vs that, you know, stuff I never paid attention to because I didn’t have them then, lol.
I have the Sidas Pro boot heaters, and I've been very happy with them, but I don't think you can go wrong with Hotronics either. I've had mine over 5 yrs at this point, and I'm still on the original heating elements and batteries. Mr. tinymoose did have to have one of his heating elements replaced last year, and his were a year or so newer than mine.
I've had so many elements.. In particular I tend to turn and get my right one crunched on chairs. I don't blame that on the heating elements though, it's definitely my issue versus a quality issue haha.
I've had Sidas for about five years as well and it's been a game changer for me. I did notice that the battery seemed to be draining faster than usual on my last trip, in February. Will have to get it checked out.I've had so many elements.. In particular I tend to turn and get my right one crunched on chairs.
