Huge bank, yes.

It 'only' weighs 175kg (385 pounds).

This is helping me with dfco and puls & glide.
The rear is 'lowerd' so better aero on the highway to :P

The coolant heater draws 30A @ 12V
The oil heater draws 8A @ 12V
(round number of 40A)

It is used 2 times a day for 15 minutes.
4 days x 2 times x 15 minutes x 40A = 80Ah

The car uses around 15A ( x 8 x 45 minutes = 90Ah)
The lights draws somewhere around 20A (only 1 times a day x 4 x 45 minutes = 60Ah)

Total of 230Ah

Then i have a 1000W pure sinus inverter and a 750W air heater with fan.
When it freezes (or close to freezing) i use this heater to heat up the cabin so it wont hurt engine warm up time.

I have, to bad, absolutly no ability to recharge every day...
