I keep seeing that pop up here and I've never even heard of them, but I'll definitely look into it.
My other thought that I forgot to mention earlier, since cold starts are a huge pain here - I do have a block heater. And a power inverter. Aaaand a smart plug that I can control with my phone, including a timer.
If I run a regular battery in conjunction with the deep cycle battery that has a 210 minute discharge - regular creates crank, runs vehicle while on, deep cycle runs it while off, couldn't I potentially plug the block heater into the inverter with a timed plug that turns on an hour before I go to work, and essentially just use the cars power to heat itself?
Thereby eliminating the power wastage/pollution that block heaters create by being plugged into a wall?
