So on weekends I deliver pizza and was wondering if it's a good idea/non fire hazard to use a heat pad plugged into the 110v outlet for the rear seats to help keep the bags warm when it gets -25 -30 deg c(-13F)
sometimes ill get 3-4 deliveries at once so one pizza could be going on a little trip

something like this - https://www.amazon.ca/Heating-Elect...8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

would the outlet be able to handle it - and would it kill my battery?
i wish the maverick had heated rear seats like my jetta did :LOL:

The page for the heater did not tell how may watts it draws but if it is over 400, which is propably is, the outlet won't handle it and will blow the fuse.

In other conversation it's stated no more than 15 amps for the outlet. Heating pad is listed at 25 amps for a Sunbeam heating pad.

Should be fine, just check to make sure they are low wattage. I have one that's only 15 watts but some seem to go up to 65 watts or so - still well within the range for the outlet.

I didn't see it listed in the amazon link you posted (typical amazon listing), but you need to find out the maximum watts for anything you try to run off the 110v outlet. 400 is the max.

Additionally, if you do use something like this, it will likely reduce your Hybrid's city mileage, since the battery will require more frequent charging from the added load.
