90 Sho taurus block heater

[mcrowe3797]

Im not sure if it goes in upgrades or maintenance. Its kind of both lol

anywaysssss, i have a 90 Sho taurus and want to use a block heater in the coming weeks since it will start getting much colder. I have an idea....
If i remote mount 2 batteries in the trunk(one in each wheel well) and wire them up in a parallel setup, could I use an inverter and a timer to turn on an hour or 2 before i need to start the car? I live in an apartment until april and could charge it on weekends if it would last. Or could i use the 2 batteries to start the car also and that way the alternator would charge it back up on my 30-40 min commute

I just started looking and found this on ebay, dont know what is good or bad.... Sry I only know Vtwin motorcycles

They plug into your home electric supply. Just plug it in at night and un plug it in the morning when you leave. i have one and LOVE it. i get better millage and warm air the second i want heat much, easier to drive also.

And both of those look to be the correct thing.

Missed that.
And what he said

is 400 watts enough to warm up the temperature or is it too small?

i would think so.
