  On a related note - Would it be possible.
  
  My local airport is, literally, 1 mile from my house.  But there are no
  hangars and no electricity anywhere near the tiedowns.  The closest airport
  with hangars is 40 minutes away.  I'd like to rig up a battery - something I
  can carry in my car - to hook up to something like this the night before I
  fly.  That way, when I arrive in the winter AM, the darn thing isn't 25
  degrees.
  
  I was thinking the smallest, cheapest, lightest, system.
  
  Any thoughts?  Would a 35lb battery keep it warm all night?  If I used a
  deep cycle battery would I be able to charge it numerous times without
  killing the battery?
  
  Thanks,

  Matt
