Has anybody had experience with these heated soles in a glider:

Some of these types of products have horrible reviews but these have
good reviews on a retailer's website.

Most of the threads on heated socks are old and are about wave
flying. My issue is that it’s often over 105 degrees F on the ground
but after a few hours above 14k my feet get painfully cold and would
like something that I can turn on later in the flight.

I’m thinking of powering these off a dedicated sealed lead acid
battery as I think the newer batteries are risky:

These seem like the niftiest warmers, but I've not tried them. Wireless
and remote controlled.
