Default Block heater idea?

I recently moved to an apartment and now i dont have a place to plug my truck up in the winter time, is there any other way i could run my block heater somehow such as off the batteries or something else, im sure itd drain them overnight but trying to find an alternative to this

No way you can't run a cord

This is a more expensive unit then just a block heater, but they work anywhere.
Espar - HYDRONIC 5
They use the diesel out of your tank for fuel, and power from your batteries to function. Essentially it's a diesel fueled circulating block heater. I have one, and LOVE it! Down side is the $1200-$1400 plus install.
