I will either put mine on a timer and run it 3-4 hours before I need to go somewhere in the morning. If I don't need to go somewhere right away I'll plug it in when I wake up at 9-10 or so. That way by the time I'm ready to go somewhere it is pretty warm.
I usually just plug it in for faster starts and faster heat, I have never had a problem with one of my cars not starting.

Actually I think as far as really cold weather goes, a battery heater makes starting easier than a block heater does. Of course this does nothing to reduce the wear and tear on the engine, but if the engine can't turn it can't start.

I actually have a block heater, a battery heater, and a 2 amp tender charger all wired to one plug so I get them all when I plug it in.

Would you mind providing a few more details regarding your setup? What kind of tender charger, battery heater, etc.? I really like your setup. Thanks. Wayne '99 E300D |

The battery heater I have was bought at Advance Auto Parts and wraps around the battery, It was less than 30 bucks.
