would this work in a vehicle when not in use and sitting in -20 to -30F

Hmmm, it has a standard plug so I'm sure it would work if the vehicle could accommodate the plug.

Probably, but you'll have to make sure it is not too close to flammables. After all that is NOT what it was designed for! Safety, safety, safety!

I don't own this product. HOwever, I researched it for you. Given it is for a bathrm use w/out an offering of batteries, you'd need an outlet plug set up in your car. In addition, the car would need to be set to "on" for there to be an opportunity for an electric current. You might want to check if it could damage your car as well. In other words, try to find one that is made just for a car because they do make such heating systems.

thirty degree weather it worked great. have not had it in cooler than that.

It depends on the temperature. If your car is outside and the temp is below freezing you could keep it plugged in but you dont want it plugged in unless the air temperature calls for it. My useage is less extreme. I'm usually parked in a garage and the temperature "usually" stays above about 40 degrees in an average winter. So, in an average winter I would probably not plug it in at all. Last year was very cold; there were several weeks where the temperature was closer to 25 degrees in the garage and several times I couldn't park in the garage and the car was outside at about -10 degrees. Those kind of temperatures can really wonk-out a car battery. I had some starting problems and decided to get this heater ready for this year. This heat strap is kinda an insurance policy for out of the average temperatures that may occur this year. Guess what, I'm already using it. The temperature is 20 degrees below average today, 5 degrees F this morning and my car is sitting in the driveway because of a project in the garage.

Not sure if a car battery can be added, but at any rate it will shut off when temps. go below 85 degrees

I'm using it to maintain my battery in a car seldom used in the winter and it works great. Some car's just don't hold a charge in the cold if not used a few times a week.

It has worked well in temps below 50 f. I have not run it any colder yet but I feel it should have no problems. It starts instantly.

YES, I used the product in two different vehicles and saw no drop in temperature, hope you have a better luck.

I think you would be OK. I keep mine in the garage and the temperature there is often in the low thirties but doe not freeze. I use to power my snow blower and it works great, never get hard or become difficult to wind up after use. You could probably ask the manufacturer and see what they say.

Depends on how close it is to the heat source and what the air temperature is at that location. Try it and check the wires closely for a few days, especially after some serious driving.

Possibly for short periods of time, depending on outside temperature as long as their is ice it should work. Based on my experience I would not expect this cooler to keep something frozen for more then 1 to 2 hours in a very hot environment.

Hi travis, We have contacted the manufacturer, and they do not have a specific temperature range where these coolers are specified to work in. However, the representative that I spoke to feels that you will have no problems with this cooler at these temperatures and that it should work fine. I hope this helps

Dennis I am not sure. I live in south east and use it in my unheated 20'x20' garage outside temp 20 to 30 degree weather 20 gallon tank 2 days about 8 to 10 hours. I WOULD HOWEVER SUJEST A 40 GALLON MININIUM. FFJ.

I haven't had any problems so far and it's been almost a year for me, but it's kept in a place that's "room temperature" so I couldn't say what it would do if you had it in your car or someone else warmer than usual temperatures. I hope this helps!

Yes, that is exactly what I have done for 1-1/2 years. I take short trips that don't recharge the battery fully. This tops it off once a week. If you are in frigid weather and you mean, will it start a car at -30, your battery may not be strong enough to do that, even if it is fully charged. That is a different issue.

Carlos: I installed two of these in my pickup bed cover to lock/unlock it remotely. They worked fine in temps from 20 to 120 degrees (F).

I'm not sure. My unit is kept in my kegerator, which stays around 35 degrees F. I'm not sure why you would have humidity issues in a car in below freezing temps.

Mine doesn't get that hot or even warm. It has a small cooling fan that isn't loud. I haven't mounted mine in a vehicle but under a front seat might be a good spot. You want to keep the 12 volt cables as short as possible, especially if you want to run close to the rated output.
