Heat pad with battery: 3 wireless models in comparison

The hot water bottle was invented to use heat selectively to relieve pain. A type of plastic container, with or without a cover, that is filled with hot water. The idea itself is good, but unfortunately short-lived as the temperature drops again after a short time. The situation is different with a conventional heating pad, which has different heating levels and can be operated continuously via an integrated power supply. However, this requires a nearby socket. The situation is different with a wireless heating pad, which maintains its temperature over a long period of time – and does not rely on a power source. How this works and what you should consider before purchasing is explained below.

There are currently not very many heating pads on the market that have an integrated battery. It is all the more important to pay attention to a few criteria before buying, such as:

In order for a wireless heating pad to maintain its temperature for several hours, it needs a strong battery. This should have a short charging time so that the pillow is always ready for use. As far as the material is concerned, you can choose between different materials – depending on the manufacturer. Here you should decide according to your personal preferences whether the heating pad is made of a synthetic material or cotton, for example. Another important point when buying a heating pad with a battery is the temperature levels: the more there are, the greater the flexibility. An integrated overheating protection as well as an automatic switch-on system should ensure the required safety. When it comes to size and shape, you always have to pay attention to your individual wishes and needs. In the end, the price also decides which heating pad is right for you.

This little thermal break heats up via a conventional 5 V power bank, which is not included in the scope of delivery and must be purchased. A 3-stage temperature control should allow heat to be released over a large area (without overheating points), and the built-in far-infrared rubber element helps with this. The cushion cover is made of polyester velvet and can be removed and cleaned. Due to its small size, the heating pad can be easily stored and taken anywhere.

The wireless one is significantly more expensive to purchase the Stoov company. Equipped with innovative infrared technology and rechargeable batteries, a long-lasting comfortable temperature of up to 42 degrees Celsius is possible: According to the manufacturer, the integrated battery (2600 mAh) lasts at least 2.5 and a maximum of five hours. Again, the synthetic, recyclable velvet fabric is removable and can be hand or machine washed. The heating pad is available in different sizes, if you have one preferred, you can also find it at Stoov.

This also comes from the same company with automatic switch-off. In contrast to its predecessor, this version of Stoov has a knitted cushion cover made from a cotton blend and can be cleaned at a maximum of 30 degrees. Infrared heat technology was also used here so that the pillow can heat up to 42 degrees. The higher price is based on a 4500 mAh battery that was installed: This means that the Ploov heating pad should run for between 4.5 to nine hours at a time, depending on the temperature.

It is a little cheaper to purchase than the two models from Stoov wireless heating pads without batteries . The model can keep you warm for over six hours using three different modes (thanks to integrated infrared technology). It then needs to be recharged via a USB port. According to the manufacturer, the high-quality knitted velvet cover can be washed at up to 40 degrees. The heating pad itself weighs 1000 grams and is 45 by 45 by centimeters in size and 15 centimeters thick.
