Excellent point. In cold weather, a trickle charger on the battery overnight may be as important as a block heater. I've seen articles that say a battery loses half (or more?) of its capacity at 32F. The trickle charger not only keeps the charge up but the waste heat from the charging process keeps it a little warmer.
