Hi I am about to install a diesel heater in my van. Do I connect the 12V through my battery management system (BMPRO) or directly to the Battery (with a fuse)

gdayjr · gdayjr

I have just sold my two petrol chainsaws, and will buy a battery powered one for use on the road. What brands are people using? i am seeing some cheap junk, and small handheld units, like 4 to 6 inch, but i was thinking a full size would be more useful. Decent brands are as dear as petrol powered units.
