[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16298096, member: 159453"] I was curious about the idling thing, from research it seems to depend on how cold it is outside and how hard you are running the heater. The AC doesn't use nearly as much power. From a full charge with the theoretical max output of the heater, a 100D should "idle" for about 15 hours. But I guess the heaters don't really run like that, they taper themselves off. A few random comments mentioned a day to a day and a half. One guy said he left his car for 7 hours with the climate set at 75 on the interior while it was snowing and lost 20-50 miles (he couldn't remember but he said it wasn't much). Doing a little digging, a typical city car will drive 50-100 miles per shift with 3-5 hours of idle time, a highway patrol car will do 100-300 miles per shift. I don't know what the electrical demand is for the radio, lights, computer, and camera on a police car but they should be able to handle city patrol work without issue. Highway seems like it could get concerning, unless when the officer stops for lunch he plugs the car in. [/QUOTE]
