Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ActionHeat heated gear — how it works, powering and care, plus sizing, warranty, and support.
Batteries & Charging
Power, runtime, and charging basics
How long does an ActionHeat battery last?
Most ActionHeat 5V batteries run 2–8+ hours per charge, depending on the heat setting — low settings stretch runtime, high settings prioritize warmth. Get the most from yours with our garment & battery care guide.
How do I charge the battery?
Every rechargeable ActionHeat product includes a charger — plug the battery in until the indicator shows a full charge, and charge it fully before first use. Step-by-step charging instructions for your specific product are in our user guides.
Can I use my own power bank with ActionHeat gear?
Many ActionHeat 5V garments run on standard USB power banks, as long as the output matches your garment's requirements. Check the manual for your product in our user guides before using a third-party battery.
What is the difference between 5V and AA heated gear?
5V products use rechargeable power banks for higher heat output and longer runtimes, while AA products offer a lightweight, budget-friendly way to try battery heated clothing. Learn more on our technology page.
Washing & Care
Keep your gear performing like new
Is heated clothing machine washable?
Yes — remove the battery, secure the connector, and machine wash on a gentle cycle. Full washing instructions for every product are in our user guides.
Can I put heated clothing in the dryer?
Hang-drying is recommended to protect the heating elements and wiring. Always follow the care label on your specific garment — details are in our user guides.
Are the heating panels waterproof?
ActionHeat heating panels are encapsulated with an advanced thermal seal for durability and moisture protection during normal use — they are not designed for submersion. See how the technology works.
Sizing & Fit
Find the right size the first time
How do I find my size?
Every ActionHeat product has a detailed size chart with measurements — find yours on our size charts page or on each product page.
Should heated clothing fit tight or loose?
A closer fit improves heat transfer — especially for base layers, socks, and gloves, where the heating panels should sit near the body. Outerwear can fit like your normal jacket size. Compare measurements on our size charts.
Warranty & Support
Coverage and help when you need it
What warranty comes with ActionHeat products?
ActionHeat heated products are covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. See our warranty page for full coverage terms and how to file a claim.
My garment is not heating — what should I check?
First confirm the battery is fully charged, the connector is firmly seated, and the garment is powered on at the setting you expect. Troubleshooting steps for each product are in our user guides and battery care guide.
