Hi Everyone,
I am looking for advice on how to heat a car that doesn't have an engine. I need to heat a vehicle using electrical technology and not sure what the best practice would be.
I know that all electrical heaters are 100% efficient in theory, and that fan assistance is probably nice to get even distribution.
But I'm not sure about what battery technologies would be best: lead acid, leisure battery, LifePo, etc?
I'm fairly happy with basic circuitry and a soldering iron, so making something with a thermostat is no problem, but perhaps an off the shelf product could be a good start?
The vehicle has plenty of room for batteries, so space is not a problem.
Perhaps the answers are obvious, but I'm not particularly well versed in these areas Thanks anyone for any advice.
