Have to get out and check something out, don't have to worry about the battery getting too run down. Get a pad, check the wattage, then get a cheap inverter rated double that or a bit more, put the battery in a marine battery box to contain the acid, and either put it in the floor of the back seat or the trunk. Would be best if you strapped it down if it's in the trunk so it can't turn over. Again, put the inverter under your legs, and use a blanket to cover your legs.
Yea it will go in the trunk, and my brother is gonna wire it under the floor to my seat so I have heated seats technically haha. He is going to mount the inverter under the seat so I can plug it in when I want it, and off when I don't.
