    Okay, so you're saying that the battery is only used to crank it up and from there it just runs on its own?

    It just uses the battery to ignite it every so often. It barely uses any juice. Its a bunk heater, they burn off diesel. You run an electric heater in your truck with the truck off, youll run those batteries down and likely ruin the batteries too. Imagine your phone charges, gps and dash camera running off the batteries with the truck off. Bunk heater will be about the same.
