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 8-1/2" long x 5-1/2" wide. Plugs into a NEMA 6-15 (15 amp) 240-volt outlet.
Features:
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 And today, we're gonna take a look at this Kat's Heaters battery heating pad for your series 24 batteries. This heating pad will plug into your NEMA 6-15 240-volt outlet to help keep your car battery at full power in the winter for more reliable startups, giving your engine the cranking power it needs to turn over and helping prevent cold weather related damage to your battery. Now as I mentioned, this is for a NEMA 6-15 240-volt outlet. And as you probably know this is that outlet is a 15 amp 240-volt outlet, that's not one of the more common outlets that you find. Typically they can be found in places like warehouses and workspaces like shops and garages. Now 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 the 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. Now this pad is made here in the USA and it's going to resist oil and acid with this silicone material.
And you're just, again, going to place this underneath your vehicle's series 24 battery and plug this into your NEMA 6-15 240-volt outlet. This has a wattage of 60 watts. And let me retrieve my ruler here and just give you some overall dimensions. Looking at the overall length first, we are sitting right at 8 1/2 inches long. And the overall width, we are sitting right at 5 1/2 inches wide.
And I measured this cord earlier and this measures about 4 1/2 feet long. Now, if you're looking for a heating pad for a more traditional 120-volt outlet, we do carry that here as well. And I am including the item number for that particular heating pad on your screen. Just take that item number and put it in the search field of our website, and it will take you to that particular heating pad. Instructions are also included with this.
And that's going to conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
easy to install and keeps the battery healthy in below freezing weather.
No comlaints and item has worked as expected. Great product and great customer service.
the heater pad burn out about 30 days after I installed it junk im not happy with that at all
The product is exactly what I ordered. Three day shipping didn't turn out so well but, etrailer refunded my shipping for three day. That's very good customer service. I'll order from them in the future.
I assume it works. Based on the product instructions I plugged it it when it was really cold and northern Minnesota can get really cold. I assumed the warmth could be felt on the outside on the bottom of where the batteries are, I think it was warmer, maybe? At the end of the really cold part of winter the batteries didn't freeze, so I guess it worked! It came when it was supposed to and came to my house. Previously, going with another company, it was shipped 200 miles away from me, what a pain.
Have bought two Kat's battery heaters over the past 5 years. Both worked fine for a year or two and then burned out-quit working. Am on my third now from another company. Worked fine till they didn't. Am going out today and check on the new one. 20 F tonight. Have it on backup generator.
Heats up well and keeps battery's warm, just the ticket for diesel pickup trucks on sub zero days. Combined with a block heater even the coldest mornings are no trouble.
Just as advertised. This Kat's battery heater will be keeping the battery warm in a whole house backup generator for when it gets real cold here in northern Wisconsin. It's connected to a thermostatic switch that's set to turn on at 10 degrees.
When my battery heater went out on my Generac 20KW stand by generator, I used this heater from E trailer used thermostat and wire connector from old unit they were still good, Generac wants about $80.00 for new this is much more economical.

We placed this unit into a Generac 20kw standby generator. Unit is controlled by a thermo switch on at 0 degrees F / off at 30 degrees F. Works fine to keep the unit ready for any power outage. We used a piece of 1/4" coated plywood between the heater and the battery to prevent overheating the battery bottom. This is the 5th similar installation. Others have been in service for 6+ years.
