Small tank 4 amps 25g
Medium tank 10 amps up to 55 gallons
Large tank 12 amps up to 75 gallons
I have 4 medium tanks = 40 amps. OK the voltage rating is 13.5 and would draw less as the battery sags to 12 volts and below. That would also give less heat and maybe the large pad is needed. My trailer came with a 55 amp converter so 40 amps will be near max. Add a few 12v pipe heaters and you could be on battery power.
OK they may cycle some in moderate temperatures. However at 0F and below I would assume near continuous power is needed. Especially on battery power producing less heat or if the pad is undersized some.
