Chinese Diesel Heater Power Consumption

Is you battery big enough to power a diesel heater? How many Amps do they use? How much Amp Hours will it use from your leisure batteries?

Worried about running your leisure battery down while use a diesel heater in your motorhome or camper van..?
So was I.!
In this video I run a full test on the Chinese Diesel Air Heater that's fitted to my off grid motorhome.
I test out startup Amps, raising the temperature Amps. running Amps and shutdown Amps to see how many Amp Hours is required and if my batteries are man enough to cope with the load.

Although very specific to my motorhome, I hope this give some indication of the amount of Amps being used and the total Amp Hours of these Chinese Diesel Heaters.

Meter used in this test was the: DC Power Analyser 60V/100A Watt Meter.
