Received a code for 50% off this vest. This beats the previous deal (which got majorly TD'd for some reason) by about $20. Doesn't appear to be a unique code, as I had someone else try it as well. Don't forget to clip the 5% coupon as well.

I use their neck/shoulder one (with massaging) and it's fantastic. Ordering one of these for myself because at $50 I can justify trying something new (gets cold in WI). I was able to convert some of my larger 2s lipos to this barrel connector for free batteries for my neck one, so I can just use those with this vest, too. If you have any older/saggy 2s lipos from drones or crawlers they'll work perfectly on this.
Details (copied and edited from Amazon - hard to read the one on the listing):
- Adjustable Size - Unisex
- 7,200mah 7.4v Rechargeable LiPo Battery
- 6 Heating Panels & 5 Temperature Control
- Built-in thermal protection module.
- Support Hand/ Machine/ Dry wash.

As for the lipos - any 2s lipo will work, as they're all 7.4v (unless HiV). If you wanted to buy a larger lipo you could pick them up anywhere - I'd get a used one for this, as you don't need something that won't sag (can get away with really low C ratings). The connector I just had laying around. I THINK it's a 2.5mm plug, but I need to verify with my calipers at home.

Alternatively, you could just use a step-down, encase/wrap it up nicely, and use any power source to power it as long as you're feeding the vest 7.4v. Tried sharing a link from BG, but it's blocked on here. Search for "LM2596 DC-DC Verstellbar Step Down-Schaltregler Power Supply Module" for the one I am going to try next. Soldering required.

What's the battery life like?
You have to use a pd power bank and a pd converter.
