Heated shawls

[Agzy]

As my partner seems to feel the cold even weather is moderately warm I have been looking at buying her one but it says in regard to heating method that ‘WIRELESS POWER: USB interface, only need to connect the mobile power can be used.’ To be honest I have no idea what that means so any advice or information would be appreciated.

Dunne elm do some very soft microfibre 'teddy' blnkets, various sizes- far easier and easy to wash& dry, not heated but very cosy though

i'd be worried they would elecrocute themseves, orr burn themselves!

I think it means power is provided by a USB plug

just like on a mobile on charge.
You can connect to mains using

Very badly worded.

Very badly worded, probably Chinglish.

So it would require being ‘on charge’ and then disconnected for use then recharged like a sort of electric hot water bottle? If so that seems far better than having it plugged in and so seated near a socket, thank you.

Only if it has a built in battery, I suspect it has and this is where the 'wireless power' bit comes in.
Some don't have a battery and are for keeping you warm when using laptop with shawl plugged in USB socket on laptop.
Does it say anything about how long charge lasts?

You could use a battery pack to extend life between charges

2 hour heat retention claimed but reviews vary plus will be shipped from China so far too long to wait. Solution continues and needed as have now got heating full on (living rom only) as she if ‘freezing.’

You could use a USB powered one without inbuilt battery and use with battery pack.

Looks great but I was looking for a heated shawl or similar for when she is in her armchair but not plugged to mains as she would forget to unplug, thank you

Have a look at

You could use with

Amazon.co.uk : battery pack usb

A 10 w shawl takes 2A.
A 1000 mAh battery pack gives 1A for one hour.

With some kind of control shawl will not take full current all the time,
Once she is heated using the shawl and the shawl itself is warm, she may notice when the battery runs out.

The 1A for one hour is perfection and unlikely to be achieved in practise particularly as batteries age from use.

You could also use it plugged into any USB socket if mobility is not required.
