We have been using the Bluetooth controlled version this season. These heaters are wayy better than anything before them. The thinner cord makes for a much easier installation also.
My only problem with the S4 is the bulkiness of the battery pack and the way they would stick way out on the side of your boots making it hard to pull your pant leg over the boot. I was hoping they would switch to lithium and we would get a much slimmer battery that your pants would slide over easier. But it looks like they are about the same thickness.
Thanks for the video about the new Hotronics stuff...but how do you recharge the battery?? Can you use a regulard USB cord I wonder??? Does it have to be plugged into a wall socket in order to charge?? Also, it sounded like, in the video, that the pre-installed elements in the foot beds, only work with the 2C battery??? Is that true? Can't be right? Wouldn't they also work with the 1C battery??? Thanks...Can you tell I need a little help here???

We could not have said it better.
This is awesome! Thanks for making these videos!
My pleasure!

Very nice. I have had them for years and they keep getting better. Cost for each??
Good video thanks! The Hotrontic folks need to update the links to videos on their website
We will give them a heads up.

The batteries come with a (propriatary) charging cable that plug into a USB adapter.
Looking to purchase a backup battery for my S4+ system but I'm reading that the 1C battery isn't compatible/interchangeable. Is that correct?
I believe it is not compatible ... let me look into it to see if that is the case.
Did they fix the plug so it doesn't come loose during the day??! Gave up on Hotronic over that terrible plug design
I have been using Hotronic heaters since the 1990's and have yet to experience the loosing issues you are.
Happens constantly- on my wife's boots as well. Why use a press fit connection? Makes no sense.
