Best Anker Power Bank for Milwaukee M12 Heated Vest?
Asked by CraftyFox42
I'm looking for recommendations on the best Anker power bank to use with my Milwaukee M12 heated vest. I already have the M12 battery with app control, but I'm exploring other options as well. I have a dongle for a USB-C port and prefer something flat and lightweight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I ended up ordering the Anker 26,250 mAh battery along with a new USB-C attachment after realizing my old one didn't support 12v heated gear.

I just picked up this power bank for my heated vest: https://a.co/d/4f6LmFm. The plug fits my vest no problem, and I’ve tested it a bit, but I'm looking forward to using it more extensively!

All you need is a conversion cable! I got a battery from Amazon that's compatible with the M12 gear, and it lasts about 8 hours on high with my heated vest.

I've been using an M18 Power Source, so I can connect my big Forge 8Ah battery to it. Just a heads up, they’ve rebranded it to an M18 jacket now. Works great for me!

I've actually used my Anker power bank with a conversion cable that I bought off Amazon, and it works well! Just make sure to check the specs before you dive in.

You could try other power banks, but just keep in mind that Milwaukee hasn't officially tested third-party options, so you might be on your own mixing and matching.

FrigidFingers: Totally agree! I use it too in really cold weather, and it keeps me warm at -40 without a hitch.
