A Hardwired 12V/24V Car Heater and Windshield Defroster for Cold Mornings

This 12V/24V car heater wires directly to your vehicle's battery and delivers warm air through two air outlets, so you can clear a foggy windshield and warm your hands and feet on cold drives. Rated at 600W, it adds supplemental heat to older cars and trucks with a weak or broken heater, classic cars without heat, enclosed UTVs, forklifts, tractors and cargo vans.

Two flexible aluminum ducts and hose clamps let you aim warm air at the windshield or the footwell. An inline on/off switch makes it easy to shut off, and battery clamps, red and black power leads and installation instructions are included. No coolant or fuel line connections are required.

Choose the 12V version for cars, pickups, vans and most UTVs, or the 24V version for heavy trucks, buses and equipment with 24V electrical systems. The compact light gray metal housing measures 18 × 12 × 10 cm (7.1 × 4.7 × 3.9 in), weighs approx. 1 kg (2.2 lb) and has a mounting flange for under-dash or seat-side installation.

Functions
  • Rated 600W Heater & Defroster, Quickly Clear the Windshield Before You Drive
    Frosted glass and cold hands make winter mornings slow to start. Because this heater warms air electrically, it does not wait for your engine coolant to heat up the way a factory heater does, so warm air reaches the windshield sooner after a cold start. Its rated 600W element and built-in fan push that air through two air outlets, toward the glass or your feet.
  • Wired Directly to the Battery, More Heat Than Plug-In Car Heaters
    Most plug-in car heaters draw power from the cigarette lighter socket, which limits them to around 150–200W. This heater connects straight to your battery instead, so it carries a 600W rating and considerably more heating power. Once it is installed, there is nothing to plug in each time; it is ready whenever the weather turns cold.
  • 12V and 24V Versions, From Passenger Cars to Heavy Equipment
    Whether you drive a compact car, a work pickup or heavy equipment, there is a version built for your vehicle. The 12V heater fits cars, pickups, vans and most UTVs, while the 24V heater serves heavy trucks, buses and equipment with 24V electrical systems. Both share the same design, mounting flange and installation kit, so you simply match the version to your vehicle.
  • No Coolant or Fuel Lines, Add Cab Heat Without Engine Work
    Adding a coolant-fed heater means draining coolant and splicing hoses, and a diesel heater needs its own fuel line and exhaust. This electric heater needs none of that. Mount it, route the ducts and connect the power leads, and you gain extra cab heat and a windshield defroster while your cooling and fuel systems stay untouched.
  • 2 Air Outlets with Flexible Ducts, Warm Air Where You Want It
    Warm air does the most good when it goes where you need it. Two air outlets and two bendable aluminum ducts let you direct heat to the windshield, a side window or your feet, with an outlet air speed of approx. 3.8 m/s (748 ft/min). Hose clamps keep the ducts secure, and the ducts bend easily around the dash or console to suit your cab layout.
  • Dedicated On/Off Switch, Cut Power Without Reaching for the Battery
    Turning the heater on and off should not mean reaching for the battery. A dedicated switch on the power lead, close to the heater, lets you switch it on when you want warmth and off before you park, with the battery clamps left in place. One simple switch makes every trip easy to manage.
  • Complete Installation Kit with Instructions, Ready for DIY or Shop Installation
    The kit includes the heater, a dedicated on/off switch, two battery clamps, red and black power leads, two aluminum ducts, two hose clamps and installation instructions. Install it yourself by following the instructions, or take the kit to your local shop for a clean, professional installation.
  • Supplemental Cab Heat, Warmer Drives in Vehicles with Weak or No Heat
    Some vehicles simply need more warmth: an older car or pickup with a tired heater core, a classic car built without heat, an enclosed UTV or side-by-side, a forklift, a tractor cab or a cargo van. This heater adds the warmth those cabs are missing, helping to ease the chill and keep the glass clear while you drive or work.
  • Compact Metal Housing with Mounting Flange, Fits Under the Dash
    At 18 × 12 × 10 cm (7.1 × 4.7 × 3.9 in) and approx. 1 kg (2.2 lb), the light gray metal housing fits neatly under the dashboard, beside a seat or on a console. The mounting flange has screw holes for a secure fit, so the heater stays firmly in place on rough roads and job sites.

Please note:

Use with the engine running. Rated power, outlet air temperature and outlet air speed are measured under test conditions; actual performance varies with vehicle voltage, cab size, insulation and outside temperature. Dimensions and weight are approximate. Professional installation with an inline DC fuse at the battery is recommended.

FAQs

Will it heat my whole cab?

It is designed as supplemental heat and a windshield defroster. In a small or well-sealed cab, it helps ease the chill and keep the glass clear. In a large or drafty cab, or in very cold weather, expect warmth near the air outlets rather than whole-cab heat. Actual output varies with vehicle voltage, cab size, insulation and outside temperature.

How do I install it?

It connects directly to the vehicle battery and cannot be plugged into a cigarette lighter. Mount it with the flange, route the ducts and connect the power leads following the included instructions. We recommend professional installation with an inline DC fuse at the battery. Your installer should choose the fuse and wire size for your vehicle and confirm your charging system has capacity to spare, especially on UTVs and older vehicles.

Can I use it with the engine off?

No. Use it only while the engine is running, and turn it off with the inline switch before you shut off the engine. Running it with the engine off can drain a car battery in about 30 minutes.

Which version do I need, 12V or 24V?

Match your vehicle's electrical system. Cars, pickups, vans and most UTVs are 12V; some heavy trucks, buses and equipment run on 24V. Many trucks with more than one battery are still 12V, so check your vehicle manual or battery label before ordering.
