Hand Warmer
Keeps the area around the electric wheelchair's input device warm, which improves the flexibility of cold hands and fingers.
Product features
The Hand Warmer's main functionality is to keep the area around a wheelchair input device warm. This increases the comfort of the users and their ability to control the input device. It is intended to be fitted on any electric wheelchair with 24 V connection.
- An air heater, powered by the battery power (24 V) of a power chair
- Fully adjustable to individual possibilities and needs with well-though-out electronics (mini USB connection)
- Recycles air instead of using air from the cold environment: it draws air in at the front, heats it and forces it out again at the front using an internal fan. This results in a huge advantage with regards to the power consumption and efficiency.
- A mechanical switch (e.g. Twister) can be immediately plugged in (on/off, select power levels) although you also have an on-board push button
- LED indicates the status of the device
A Perspex dome-shaped 2-hands hood is available to better maintain the air temperature around the hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the Hand Warmer come with its own power supply? How much energy does it use?
The Hand Warmer does not have its own power supply, but it can be fitted to any power wheelchair with 24V connection.
As the air inlet and outlet are at the same side, warm air is recycled again, instead of using air from the cold environment. This has a beneficial effect on power consumption and efficiency.
Power consumption:
- Full Power: 2.0 A
- Idle mode: 20 mA
- Sleep mode: 1.7 mA
-
How warm can the air get? Do I need to keep a certain distance from the unit?
At full power the Hand Warmer will produce warm air (up to 70°C). It is advised to leave a minimum distance of 10 cm between the hand and the warmer. If you use the device constantly closer than 10 cm away, this may cause the skin on your fingers and hands to dry out.
