My question is this.....what connector do I need to hook the heater up to the battery....I checked all the Dean's plugs on Amain, and nothing looked like it would work
......unless I missed something (which is very likely)
Can anyone help a brother out?? TIA!!!
The item needed to connect to a gel hobby battery is a Female Spade connector. One EACH needed for - and +.
I don't like gel cell batteries. They weigh too much. And fully charged they are 13.1-13.6V. A fully charged LiPo is 12.6V (which is exactly what the battery in your automobile is) and MUCH lighter. With some shopping around, the LiPo can be very close to the price of the gel cell. My starter box has a 4 cell LiPo for starting, and a 3 cell for my heater; and it STILL weighs less than a starter box with just one gel cell.

This one would require changing the battery connector.
