These 12-Volt Accessories Will Keep You Warm This Season

Stay warm this winter (and heat your food & drinks) with these 12-volt accessories.

These 12-Volt Accessories Will Keep You Warm This Season

Your vehicle’s 12-volt outlet (also known as the cigarette lighter) can power a variety of accessories.  These items are especially useful during the fall and winter to keep you warm while driving and to heat your food and drinks.

Heated 12-volt blankets

Heated blankets will keep you warm even when they’re not plugged in.  These cozy 12-volt fleece blankets are big enough for two and can heat up within minutes.  They have a 30/45-minute automatic shut-off timer and automatic temperature control for extra safety.

12-volt heaters

If you have an older vehicle with a weak heater, you may want a secondary heating source.  The Back Seat Heat is made for RVs, vans, trucks, and cars, with a fan that circulates the air while heating it up 20-30 degrees F.

Instead of plugging them into your outlet, these 12-volt heaters directly wire to your vehicle’s battery.  They have an adjustable thermostat and can be mounted anywhere you need extra warmth.

Back Seat Heat Plus, about $100 on Amazon

Portable 12-volt stoves

These portable stoves from RoadPro can warm your food up to 300 degrees F.  They plug into most 12-volt outlets and work great for pre-cooked meals like beans, rice dishes, stews, and sandwiches.

Smart Car Pots

You can make soup, noodles and more with these Smart Car Pots.  It takes about 10-20 minutes to boil water for instant meals and drinks like tea and hot chocolate. The slim pots are easy to store and have automatic shut-off once the pitcher has been emptied.

Heated seat cushions

Some newer vehicles have built-in heated seats, but if yours doesn’t, you can easily add that comfort with these 12-volt heated seat cushions.  They have straps that hold the cushions in place and can be adjusted between Low Heat, High Heat, and Off.

Heated travel pad

In addition to their 12-volt blanket, Trillium Worldwide also makes a heated travel pad that your pets can lay on.  Alternatively, you can use the pad on your lap, for back pain, or as a seat cushion.
