12v blanket or mattress pad
Any users of 12v mattress pads or blankets have recommendations ? What's the power use ?
Forum Discussion
I have a question for those who have answered the OP on 12V blanket or mattress pad power usage: Don't these cycle ON and OFF depending upon their heat control settings ... just like 120V blankets and mattress pads do?
If this is true, then their power usage would be less than their constantly-on power usage in amps. For example, a 12V 6 amp blanket or mattress pad that is only ON about half the time each hour would be only consuming 3 amp-hours per hour of battery power, on average, for a battery draw-down over-night of only 24 amp hours.
