So I used my engine block heater for the first time last night up here in the high Rockies. To see if it was working, I pulled out my thermal imager and found that almost the entire engine was warm.
Got me wondering, how does the engine block heater work? Is there heating/charging going to the battery? Seems like a lot for just $100.
How long before driving do they recommend plugging it in? I read online that they’re high wattage and therefore expensive to run all night.
