Wrenches, On battery heating, I hear a bunch of great ideas, incondecent lamp, simple thats untill it burns out, same with christmas lights, loose one and your toast, reptile enclosure blanket heater again great but on 24/7 for months on end what is the failure rate there? I have seen many outlets fail due to block heaters running in the nwinter cooking the outlet, socket and wiring in the outlet box. I have used Kohler Generator battery heaters and yes they fail too. I tryed a ceramic direct plug in heater, maybe 30 days and it was done. If this is for security then redundency and CC/inverter telemitry for monitoring temps is a must, we need an idea that is it Mars Mission Ready, Yes they are great and inovative ideas.
