Just e-mailed them and got a reply; they no longer make these. Dammit.

Thread revival.

Can the block heater even be powered by 12V without an AC inverter?
The idea (in my case anyway) isn't to preheat the engine but to get the engine warm quicker once running.

VW does something similar on the TDI using glowplugs.
