Brief product review: Tourmaster Heated Jacket

[TresGatos]

I'll go ahead and show my ignorance.................

How can you tell if your bikes electrical system can handle the additional load?

+1. I've never hookedanything up the the
2 pronged thingy poking out

With the tourmasterr jacket, the tourmaster-supplied lead that comes off the battery terminals has an inline blade fuse.  The fuse is rated at "7.5" (amps?) 

The jacket itself uses very little juice but I guess if your bike already had a couple of other accessories running, you might have an issue.

...The fuse is rated at "7.5" (amps?)... an issue.

"Amps" <--I think it should have a capital "A" (I may be wrong about that) ...even though it is a slang.

an Ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point per unit time.  
6241000000000000000 electrons, or one coulomb, passing a given point each second constitutes one ampere.

...so just multiply by 7.5 to solve how many electrons are whizzing around you in those wires in your jacket.

No wonder you feel warm!
