As you've mentioned in previous post you have 64Ah battery so it will drain your battery in something about 45 minutes. So be careful, you may not be able to start your engine in winter if you try to use it when P&G.
Piwoslaw - where are those electric heaters? Is it similar like VW/Audi 1.9TDi has 3 coolant heater plugs and they are heating coolant - one coolant heater plug draws 14Amps (14.5V*14Amps*3 is about 600W)
