Bottle heater:

Any problems with wiring it to the defrost wires? I hooked it up, and it works, of course I have to undo the defrost that I never use.
It gets hot. I dont know if it gets hot enough, I have to get a new bottle guage.
Anyone tried this yet? Got a built in switch <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I'm sure the car fuse would blow if it was a problem. Good idea BTW <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Re: Bottle heater:

Thanks, it just seemed too simple. To have a power source that generally works the same as a bottle warmer, and also has a built in switch. I got the male ends on the wires, & tucked them under the plastic, so far so good.
I wonder how that circuit works. If the defrosters are on a timer, or a fuse that shuts off when it reaches a certain temp. Anyone know?
