The heater is wired directly to the vehicle battery, so it does not plug in anywhere.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I own 2, they use 25 amps, 300 watts. Most power jacks such as cigarette type ports won't support that high amperage (usually fused 15 amp, passibly some very old vehicles are 20 amps) It is possible that some vehicles have a fuse block with a spare fuse output connection, but doubful a 30 amp one. Due to this high power, the manufacturer certainly recommends connecting wiring directly to the battery, plus also adding a 30 amp fuse inline at the battery for safety. *A vehicle battery has lots of engine starting power, but does not have power to sustain high power loads, so the vehicle engine must be running for the battery charging system to sustain the charge of the battery and operate the heater. For physical connections, there is a ring terminal at the end of each wire to connect to each battery bolt. A fuse is not included, so it should be added. Best Buy might install this for you for a fee? or perhaps if you are not a technical person, a technical friend is helpful (meaning mostly to add a fuse, proper size wire for it, wire terminals, etc.) Mine both work good. I'm using them in an EV, but with a spare group 24 Deep Cycle Marine battery, so I can use them, then recharge the battery (as Deep Cycle ones are made for just that purpose) -Engineer-
