The Trademark Electric Car Blanket is a heated car blanket that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and stays warm until unplugged. The heater may also overheat and burn the seat if improperly installed. You might also want to test the unit occasionally because it’s prone to malfunctions. This means that you may have to replace it sooner, especially with heavy use. One drawback of this heated seat cushion is that it may not be as durable as most would like. The cigarette lighter plug is made of flame retardant materials for safety purposes. In addition, it has a timing feature that makes it possible to set a time frame for the heater to work, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes. Moreover, you can choose temperatures ranging from 30 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, and it has 3 degrees Celsius of increase or decrease allowance. The heater comes with a plug that splits into two interfaces you can use one plug for two heaters on different seats simultaneously. The product is a universal fit for all vehicles with a 12-volt cigarette lighter. It’s also fitted with a timed power-off protection feature that shuts off the heater just in case you forget. The heater comes with intelligent temperature control that allows you to preset the preferred temperature. The Kingleting Heated Seat Cushion is one of the best 12-volt heater cushions on the market due to its minimalist design and performance. With the simple addition of a car seat heater, you can take your vehicle to the next level of luxury and comfort. Not everyone can afford a luxurious vehicle with heated front (or back) row seats. With a car heater, you could warm up your back row seats while leaving the front row seats cool, or vice versa, and keep everyone in your vehicle happy. Your passengers may have different preferences for the level of heat they desire. Some of these seat warmers have customizable features that will help relieve knots, tension, aches, and stress. The radiating warmth can help alleviate fatigue and back pain after a long day at work. Some car seat warmers come with health benefits. A 12-volt heater is an economical way of getting the warmth you need without breaking your bank with a new AC unit for your car. In some extreme cases, your vehicle’s heater unit may not be enough to keep you warm and to keep out the cold air as you drive. So I would have to say that I also have not heard of a reliable/efficient 12V heater. Tents really do not hold heat like your tear drop might with proper insulation.Īs Herbie says a 12V heater really would not be an efficient way to heat a space, even a small space, with the electric draw that would be required. I sleep in a tent and use a Little Joe propane heater to warm up the tent in the AM. I use it to warm the bed and then cover with blankets for sleeping. The blanket shuts off after 2 hours so to keep it going you have to turn it on again after that time. Powering the blanket all night only draws down the Jackery about 30%.

I now use a 12V electric blanket that I power with a Jackery (explorer 240) power pack, they do make larger power packs but this one os enough for the blanket. The pinz has a canvas top, no heat retention. Maybe one pint of fuel for 8 hours but I only ran it with the engine going (continuous 12V supply) to heat the cab on the coldest days.

I had a 12V heater in my Pinzgauer that ran off gasoline from the fuel tank, there is also one that runs off diesel.
