|
|
Morning all!
I happened to install a battery heater today on my car, and it dawned on me that some of you might have use for the same, either for its intended use to warm the battery, or possibly as a manifold heater blanket to aid cold starting.
I ordered the battery heater directly from Subaru, it is a factory option.
I ordered mine last summer from Jon at Flatirons Subaru here in Boulder Colorado but you should be able to get one from any Subaru dealership.
Part number is J6010FS000
It is an 80 watt 120 v heater blanket with a water proof cover, about 30 inches long and 5 inches high (76cm x 12.7 cm), designed to wrap around the outside of the battery.
It has a short pigtail for 120 V (about 3ft long) with a rubber boot to fit over the plug when it is not in use.
