120volt bottle heater A few years back, someone was making either a dual, 12v and 120v, bottle heater. Is is still made and does anyone have the info on it?
Yeah I'm kind of curious as well. Does the 120 heater get the bottle heated faster? Ive got an inverter near the bottle so this could work well. Or maybe Tim and I are the only ones looking in this thread.

I don't think it really will heat it any faster. It's just that my battery doesn't like me heating 2 bottles without the car running. This way, I can plug them into the generator in between rounds.

Emailed the manufacturer, ARC, and they said the product IS still available and that the 110v portion of the heater DOES heat faster.

Obviously a 12v system is far less efficient than a 110v system for generating heat. I wrote this so you would see that putting an inverter in your car is not going to make a difference. If you try to pull 600 watts out of an inverter, it's still on the 12v system.

600W is 600W no matter how much voltage it requires.
