Power Consumption Calculation

Use the two tables below to determine the power supply you need to safely and adequately operate your heated garments.

• Heated Clothing
• Heated Diving Clothes

Power consumption calculation for combined heating garments to determine the necessary battery capacities of battery packs and battery tanks

Heating products	7,4V - rechargeable battery	11,1V - accumulator	14,8V - accumulator	Enter A-value
3-zone shirt	-	1,2A	1,6A	A
4-zone shirt	-	1,8A	2,4A	A
6-zone shirt	-	2,4A	3,2A	A
7-zone shirt	-	3,0A	4,0A	A
3-zone pants	-	1,2A	1,6A	A
3-zone pants + calves	-	2,4A	3,2A	A
4-zone pants	-	1,8A	2,4A	A
4-zone pants + calves	-	3,0A	4,0A	A
Overall	-	4,2A	5,6A	A
Overall + calves	-	5,4A	7,2A	A
Overall for divers	-	5,4A	7,2A	A
Overall for divers + calves	-	6,6A	8,8A	A
Heating vest (up to XL)	-	3,7A	4,9A	A
Heating vest (from XXL)	-	4,9A	6,6A	A
Heating vest (for divers)	-	5,8A	7,7A	A
+ gloves	2,0A	2,6A	3,4A	A
+ shoe insoles	0,9A	1,1A	1,5A	A
+ socks	0,9A	1,1A	1,5A	A
+ socks for divers	-	2,4A	3,2A	A
+ Knee socks	-	2,4A	3,2A	A
Total current of all added heating consumers				= A
A value x number of hours (planned heating time)				= Ah

A = Ampere, the current value for the consumption of single or multiple heating products.
Ah = Ampere-hour, the minimum battery capacity required at 100% heating power.

Example calculation for an 11.1V battery supply:

4-zone shirt + gloves = 4.3A x 2.5h (heating time in hours) = 10.75Ah.
The battery capacity should be at least 10.75Ah for 2.5 hours of heating.
The next larger battery technology would therefore be a battery with 11.1V/12Ah.

Power consumption calculation for combined immersion heaters to determine the necessary battery capacities of accumulator packs and accumulator tanks

Heating products	11,1V - accumulator	14,8V - accumulator	Enter A-value
4-zone shirt	1,8A	2,4A	A
7-zone shirt	3,0A	4,0A	A
4-zone pants	1,8A	2,4A	A
Overall for divers	5,4A	7,2A	A
Overall for divers + calves	6,6A	8,8A	A
Heating vest for divers	5,8A	7,7A	A
+ gloves	2,5A	3,3A	A
+ diving socks	2,4A	3,2A	A
Total current of all added heating consumers			= A
A value x number of hours (duration of the planned dive)			= Ah

A = Ampere, the current value for the consumption of single or multiple heating products.
Ah = Ampere-hour, the minimum capacity required for the diver's battery at 100% heating power.

Example calculation for a 14.8V battery supply:
Shirt + Socks = 7.3A x 2.5h (heating time in hours) = 18.25Ah.
The battery capacity should be at least 18.25Ah.
The next largest battery technology would therefore be a 14.8V/20Ah battery.
