If you see one advertised, hide your wallet and don't buy the bridge
advertised along with it. The car battery I bought yesterday has a reserve
capacity of 120 minutes (as in 2 hours) at 10 amps. At 12 volts this
translates to 120 watts (as in two 60 watt light bulbs). That is less than
1/10 of your standard dinky 1500 watt free standing electric plug in
heater.
