Any need for a battery powered preheater/generator?

Post by Phillipny1 »

Just checking how everyone is preheating.

We have tried the red dragon and different forced air solutions but electric preheating seems to be the best, just power and time needed.

The battery tech has gotten smart and light enough, to get 4-5 hours of preheating from a 200W sump heater like Ez-Heat.
And with a remote starter built in, so you can activate 4 hours before the flight and ready to go when you arrive.
