are you sure you don't have a wiring issue or a control issue?
We use a warmer blanket and a milwaukee 12v battery on our race car and we can have a bottle up to temp in the lanes in a matter of minutes

I've read the bottle bracket with the integrated heater is a little slower than the regular wrap around heater as it has less surface touching the bottle. I ran a 10 gauge wire with a connector used for boat trolling motors to the heater for quick disconnect.
The heater is the cheap Dracary $75 from Amazon and it works surprisingly well. The bottles are mounted in the bed of my truck out of direct sunlight hidden under a Bakflip Tonneau cover. Summertime the bottles heat up fast and the transducer cycles very little... and of coarse with colder weather it takes a bit longer.

I don't think it's a wiring issue. Voltage is constant. I have it on a relay with 10ga wiring as well. I think the heating element in the bottle bracket only contacts 1/4 of the bottle vs the wrap style which probably heats all sides of the bottle. Eventually it'll reach temp/press. It's just super slow. Thanks for sharing the Dracary option. I may give that a whirl in place of the bottle bracket.

They are convenient and look nice, but don't do as good of job.

Get yourself a propeller heater. Or an electric "DE-ICE BOOT" that they use on aircraft. The 24v versions with a tool bat work REALLY well. Even at 12-14v they were cheaper, hotter, and worked faster than the N20 bottle blankets I worked with.
