[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 122619, member: 13825"] well I'll just add a small update, as had my first plow able snow fall, and has been below freezing for past 48+ hours! was 28 degree's I plugged in both my battery pad heater and oil pan magnetic heater for 2.5 hours, went to start machine, a, air temp was about 30 still below freezing! and WOW< what a noticeable difference in how much easier it started,a s to its normal cold starting! I have the battery wrapped in insulation and the pad under things, which I think is making a big difference as its keeping the heat in the battery! I will see if it works like this when things get much colder, as winter is just starting, but I thought I would add, what in put I have , in case others have thought about using one? I wish it was easier to get to battery to use a laser temp gauge on it to see how warm it actually gets after just a few hours, , as is, I cannot do so, panels in way and cannot remove them in my building when parked!, maybe later into winter I will try that, and see! maybe remove panels and park over night one day and take some readings before and after a few hours! so far I am happy with its improvements and costs!
