FAQ
What's the difference between a heated seat cushion and a heated seat pad?
Padding, mostly.
The seat cushion is a self-contained block with 2.5 inches of foam, so it adds real comfort on a hard bench as well as heat. The seat pad is thin and 25 inches long, shaped to drape over whatever you're already sitting on, and it folds flat and machine washes.
Pick the cushion for bleachers where sitting on aluminium is the problem. Pick the pad if you move it between a chair, a bench and a truck seat.
Do Chaheati batteries work across different products?
Within a voltage, yes. The 7V 5000mAh pack runs the heated seat cushion and the portable seat pad, so a spare battery doubles as backup for both.
The MAXX Add-On Chair Cover is the exception. It runs on its own 11.1V pack, which delivers more heat across six elements but is not interchangeable with the 7V products.
Check the voltage on your product before ordering a replacement.
How do you turn on a Chaheati heated chair?
Charge the battery, drop it into the zippered pocket and connect it to the plug inside. Then press and hold the touch button for about three seconds until the LEDs come on.
From there, tap once for low, twice for medium, three times for high. The LED colour tells you where you are: blue for low, white for medium, red for high. The sequence is the same on every product in the line, so you only learn it once.
Can you wash a heated seat pad?
The 7V Portable Heated Seat Pad is machine washable. Remove the battery first, disconnect it from the plug inside the pocket, and let the pad dry fully before reconnecting.
Never put a battery pack in water, and never wash a product with the battery still attached.
Are the batteries replaceable?
Yes. Every Chaheati product uses a removable battery pack rather than a sealed one, so a dead or aged battery never means a dead chair. You swap the pack and keep the chair.
The cells are third-party tested lithium-polymer. Store the battery indoors over the off-season rather than leaving it in a cold garage or a hot car.
How long does a heated camping chair battery last?
On the low setting a fully charged 7V battery runs about 8 hours. Medium is roughly 4.5 hours and high about 2.5 hours.
Runtime is driven by which setting you use, not by how cold it is outside. One charge covers a full game on low, or a couple of hours if you run it hot the whole time. Most people start on high to warm up, then drop to low and stay there.
