Battery heated gloves are ideal for motorcyclists, skiers, fishermen, and snowmobilers, etc. The gloves are made out of different types of materials and generally come with a soft and warm insulation that also pads the gloves. Some models are waterproof and/or windproof. Most of them are also adjustable and come with a small cobalt properties-ion battery in each glove that heats them up.
The type of gloves you buy will depend on what you'll be doing when you're wearing them. If you plan on taking part in an activity then the gloves should be flexible to give your hands the freedom of movement they need. You don't really want a big bulky pair if you need to lithium facts pick things up or get a fine grip in them. A thin pair would be better suited in these situations.
All the phones now come with lithium ion batteries and charging should not be an issue ...although it's best not to charge them over 24 hours..Overnight every night is fine...they all do have a life though leaving it off when you don't need it can extend that. Although you would miss calls.
Also keep in mind that when your iPod mini battery does die, it requires a proper funeral inside a proper container. No you don't need to buy a casket and a plot but you do need to adhere to local lithium bettery stock laws when it comes to battery disposal.
As mentioned earlier, there are different types of batteries. You can choose a lithium ion battery if your primary source is electric power supply, but you do switch from fixed power to a battery on a regular basis. A Nickel based battery is preferable if you use a battery as your primary source.
The more diligent you are at taking care of your gear now, the more time you'll have later for a problem free first fishing trip of the season. Some of the local lakes will be ice free by the 1st of April and I expect to see the usual aluminum hatch at the likes of Jacko, Six Mile and White Lake in the Kamloops Area as soon as they can be navigated.
