  • Why is the lithium pack's LED light on even though the lithium pack is not powered on?
When the center LED light flashes (every 2-3 seconds), it indicates that the lithium pack is in standby mode. The switch-off time depends on the heat production of the lithium pack. Please read the manual carefully and refer to the diagrams below. The Lithium Pack RCB does not heat up when switched to heat generation level (1, 2, or 3) when no heated socks/vest or waist warmer are attached or when the battery is in standby mode (middle LED flashes). There is an auto-shutdown feature that automatically turns off when socks/vests or waist warmers are not attached (power off).

  • How can I store it for a long time?

After discharging the lithium pack's current, please charge it only half way. (Please refer to the manual for instructions. ( download instruction )

Please do not fully charge. Turn off the power to the lithium pack and store it disconnected from the charger. We also recommend that you discharge your lithium pack every 6 months and then half-charge it again. Proper storage of lithium packs will improve battery performance and longevity.

  • How do I know if it's only half charged?

After fully discharging the lithium pack, charge it for about 1-2 hours. With the lithium battery pack RCB 1200/RCB 1800, you can check the charging status at any time using the Lenz heat app.

  • Please tell me why a rubber ring is included in the package.

All sets of lithium battery packs RCB 1200 / RCB 1800 include 3 x 2 elastic rubber rings. These colored rubber rings make it easier to mix and match battery packs, for example when more friends/family use the same lithium battery pack. In that case, you can mark the battery pack with one color (e.g. yellow) and the other person can mark the battery pack with a different color (e.g. red). Rubber rings can be fixed between batteries.

Therefore, even if the lithium pack is already synced to the Lenz Heat app, there will be no confusion due to the lithium pack being mixed up.

About heat socks/gloves/vests

The Heat Socks Slim Fit 1.0 has been intentionally designed to be narrower in the forefoot area for a better fit. It also has a shin protector function and a heating area just below the toes and the ball of the foot, making it ideal for all outdoor activities.

The Heat Socks 5.0toe cap® has a shin protector function and a heating area that completely covers the entire toe.
