Which has the warmer top setting?

The Gerbing states its top setting at 140F. Therm-ic does not publish a temperature for its three levels, so the Gerbing is the only one with a stated figure.

Do the Therm-ic batteries work in other gear?

Yes. The app supports up to 4 Therm-ic heating products and 4 user profiles, so the S-PACK 1400B batteries can be moved between them. The Gerbing 7V batteries are for the socks.
