good point. have my block heater on a heavy duty timer...could do the same for my battery charger if it ever got to Wisconsin proportion coldness here (where I got forstbit at -27 degrees...about -50/-60 with windchill) Chris

I used to keep a battery charger on the battery. If choosing between the two, a warm battery is more valuable than a warm block. The glow plugs will take the same hit from the battery regardless and extreme cold saps most of your battery's energy.

In fact I don't have one in stock either. That's how nice I am to my engines. I dare them not to start and run. Johnny B.
