Interesting. Some more technical info here: Rip Curl H-Bomb, turn on the heat*-*360Guide

EDIT: besides others, in the comments below the article, they also write:

A little update. Batteries will last for about 2 hours on high setting and you will be able to recharge with your car's cigarette lighter.

I had a battery powered undersuit for under my drysuit for diving. The batteries didn't last long so i didn't use it for the first dive. There is a connector that attaches to complete the loop so the heater starts to work so i left that disconnected so that all i needed to do was to attach that and instant warmth.

However....

My belly got wet and the two ends of the connector shorted accross my stomach and left two scars (which i still have today after a few years) much to the amusement of everyone who witnessed it, including myself strangely rofl
