I have a dual controller.  One runs the gloves and the other runs my coat liner and pants liner.  The gloves requires a different setting as my hands are out in the wind more.

If you hooked it directly to the battery, the gloves would never shut off.  You could do this, but you would have to disconnect them from time to time as they gloves would over heat.  (not a big problem vs very cold hands)  Perhaps a toggle switch would work for you so it could be done quickly while riding.

The controllers are pulse modulators rather than rheostats / thermostats.

I use the same plugs on my heated gear that is the same as the plug for my battery tender. On my HD Ultra, I ran it through a switch on the dash, so when I was getting too warm, shut it off for a bit until needed again. ;)

I have a controller velcroed on my tank divider. Unless it's REALLY cold, I usually run it at about 1/2  speed. You can run them direct, but the heat might be a bit much...

I've never used heated gear before and decided to purchase some gloves. What else do I need for these. I see the trollers . Are these necessary or can u just run wire directly to battery. Remote or factory fit?
