DIY Electric Undergarment

[sambolino44]

I'm going to try to "electrify" my wife's drysuit undergarment. She showed me a thread on here with some tips on how to do it, but it was really for motorcycle clothing, not diving.

The thing I'm looking for help with is the switch. I was hoping to find a rocker switch that I could mount into a thin housing, or even better, one that's already mounted. I think we can mount this in a place where she can operate it through her suit with heavy gloves on. We're going diving today, so I'll scope out areas that might work; it has to be somewhere she can reach with all her gear on, and not interfere with straps, etc.

Where you 'll put battery pack - (under clothes I assumed- due to ''for motorcycle clothing'' ?) ?.... And if your wife get inside dry suit some water - moisture leaks trough cuffs ,zip...?

Battery must be that's why watertight special at Li-xx battery type (like motocyclist heat west have) to prevent shortcuts even , explosion. ... burnings ......ELSE might :blessing:.


Thats why and because of size is battery pack normaly stored in canister . Electricy is routed normaly through front suit valve like
SantiDiving - drysuits & undersuits for divers



Simplest wayto operate withr switch is trough clothes via magnet , which mean reed switch or even hall monopolar switch but because flows through switch some powerfull el. current ( cca +5 Amp), needs be right size dimensioned and that mean power add-on like power fet or power rellay
