Canister for heat

[rjack321]

Thoughts of the Nanight canisters for heat. I like the profile.

Nanight Power Canister

This single output canister from Nanight will power your heated suit or lights when you need it most. The canisters have 4 power settings so you can adjust the output to what you need, when you need it!The G2 192 Wh canister has a 30" cable. The 96 Wh has a 12" cable. Custom cable lengths are...

I would strongly advise against importing a suit heater battery canister from Sweden. EO cords are a consumable item (along with switches and the battery itself). When you need to get this repaired or refurbished you're looking at a giant shipping pita. Along with very long wait times. Perhaps the importer in Maine is also a repair facility but you are much better off with something made in Canada or at worst made in USA.

Just for reference, pre-covid I had 10 week shipping times from Martin at Techme in Germany. Each way...

So nowadays you're looking at ~6+ months round trip to send this battery in for any kind of repair.

I understand what you're saying. That said during this pandemic it is taking a considerable amount of time for anything to get done, doesn't matter where you order from.
I did purchase the Nanight can, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I’m happy with the Nanight canister. Set the output to 12v and the heat stayed constant for a 70 minute dive in 6c water. Once out of the water I kept the heat on for another 15 minutes and still plenty of power.
Using a pair of SF Tech gloves and a Yellow Diving shirt with a consumption of about 80Wh.

I made extra 4s2p battery packs for my nanight light myself. Of course they tell you not to do this, voids warranty, etc. I made an Anderson powerpole adapter so I can also use them as USB chargers or for ham radio.

I also charge them with an RC car charger in my truck on the road. They tell you not to do that as well......

I bought an upgraded charge port from Salt Blue a few months ago, didn't take long. The shipping costs from Sweden definitely don't work.....
