I don't own this product. HOwever, I researched it for you. Given it is for a bathrm use w/out an offering of batteries, you'd need an outlet plug set up in your car. In addition, the car would need to be set to "on" for there to be an opportunity for an electric current. You might want to check if it could damage your car as well. In other words, try to find one that is made just for a car because they do make such heating systems.

Sure Danny, This thing works great off of the car battery. I have a seperate battery to run stuff in my van and it will keep it cold for three days without recharging. On the van main battery it will stay cold forever and if you run the vehicle for thirty minutes or so it is completely recharged. I have had mine for about a year and I love it.

You probably could but why would you want to? Because the BatteryMinder has some pretty sensitive electronics to monitor the battery charge level and temperature, I would not recommend leaving it attached to the battery when you start the vehical... at least I wouldn't do that.

I have a buddy that did it and he had trouble overheating. Not saying yours is going to do this . He had a old truck. I think it would working really do! I would check with the D.M.V. TO ABOUT IT BEING IN THE FRONT lights signals...

Yes - You are correct. The battery will overheat and it can be damaged! Try using a thermostatically controlled outlet like Farm Innovators model TC3-3545 as long as the 120V receptacle (or thermostat) in the same general area as the battery.

no, it doesn't maintain the battery. my dingy has a pretty small battery (Honda Fit) and the only time I got the "low battery" warning was while driving through the mountains and using the brakes constantly. After that, I ran a hot wire from the motorhome into the car and attached a 12v outlet on the end (make sure you get an outlet rated for the amps of the brake). No more issue.

Should be no problem. I have the Battery Tender Junior .75A charger and the folks at BT said it would be fine. Since I live in Texas I get to ride a lot during the winter but those days or weeks when I can't, it works fine. If you want to be sure just call the folks at BT (Battery Tender).

Thanks for the reply, I live in Central Wisconsin and I am planning on putting it on the oil pan of my car and I'm not sure if I should plug it in over night so it's warm by the morning because I'm not sure how long it would take to warm it up but I don't want to cause a fire either by leaving it plugged in over night.

Yes you can. I have been running speed pack 1400 mah 11.1 v for a year. No problems with burning motor out.

I've had mine 2 years so I can't give you an answer on how long it will last but I didn't have it on a battery tender last winter, (Arkansas winter - mostly ice) and after sitting for a few months it was still at 92%. So while it lost a bit over time, it still cranked my RoadStar 1700 without a problem.

Actually the first time I used mine the battery smoked and would have caught fire if left unattended! So I returned it only to learn it is no longer made. So I would not leave it connected!

all depends on your gearing if overgeared any motor will overheat with any battery . I run a castle 3800 kv and mamba max controller . never overheat

If ur using the cell while charging it, it will get good and hot. I've owned this product and have it on my 07 VT750 and have had nothing but good luck.

No you should not,the engine should be running or u won't have proper voltage ...unless u have that type of RV of course that has an engine....

I like it. It takes about 10 min to heat up. Cover it when preheating. I use it in my semi truck. It will eat your battery in two hours, so reduce the heat to less than a half for longer use

It does not put out enough heat for a 2 car garage. I say don't buy it. The one I bought I melted the plug. I replaced the plug and that one melted too. The cord got hot to the touch so it went into the trash. It should be recalled as a fire hazzard.
