Place this flexible heating pad under your vehicle's battery in the winter to maintain its charge and to ensure that your engine turns over. Measures 18" long x 11" wide. Plugs into 240-volt outlet.

Specs:
As the temperature gets colder, your engine not only requires more power to start, but it also receives less power from the battery. As you can see in the chart above, your battery's power drops to 65-percent of its normal capacity at the freezing point. At this same temperature, the engine needs 65-percent more cranking power than it would normally need in 80-degree weather. By using this thermal wrap on your battery you can ensure that the battery will maintain the same amount of power that it has in warm temperatures. As a result, your engine will get the cranking power that it needs to help ensure a successful startup.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Kat's Heaters Battery Heating Pad. Now, this heating pad is going to plug into your NEMA 6-15 240-volt outlet to help keep your Series 8D automotive batteries at full power in the winter for more reliable startups, giving your engine the cranking power it needs to turn over and helping to prevent cold weather-related damage to your battery. Now, in case you don't know,, a NEMA 6-15 240-volt outlet is a 15-amp 240-volt outlet that is not one of the more common outlets. Typically, they can be found in warehouses, workspaces, and garage.
But as you probably know, as the temperature gets colder, your engine not only requires more power to start, but it also receives less power from the battery. As you can see in the chart there on your screen, your battery's power drops to 65% of its normal capacity at the freezing point. At this same temperature, the engine needs 65% more cranking power than it would normally need in 80-degree weather. So by using this heating pad under your battery, you can ensure that your battery will maintain the same amount of power that it has in warm temperatures. And as a result, your engine will get the cranking power that it needs to help ensure a successful startup.
This pad is made here in the USA, and it will resist oil and acid with this silicone cover. And you're just, again, gonna place this underneath your vehicle's Series 8D automotive batteries and then plug this into your NEMA 6-15 240-volt outlet. This is an 80-watt pad. It does include instructions. And let me go ahead and go over some measurements with you.
So bringing out my tape measure here, as you can see, the overall length is 18 inches long. The width is 11 inches wide. I measured that cord before our time together, and this cord is about 4 feet 4-1/2 inches long. I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you.
Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

I have two of these on my Ram 3500 4x4 they still work fine after one year. I did not put the pad under the battery, I put a piece of aluminum between my battery insulating cover and the heater pad and placed it on the side of the battery. i was worried rough roads and washboards would cause slight battery movement and short it out if it was under the battery.
