Chinese Diesel Heater Install

Hey! I just purchased this heater from Amazon.

It arrived today! My main issue is with the power cord. It looks like it’s made to connect to a car battery. However, I will be using a Jackery, I am wondering how I would go about adding a plug or 12v adapter to this? I know nothing about electronics so any help is appreciated!

I tried looking already but haven’t found a great one yet. Thank you in advance!

Great thanks! That’s what I ended up doing.

What sort of battery do you have this connected to? Would a Jackery 240 be sufficient?

I have it connected to a Bluetti EB70s which is 715W. It uses very little power once running (5w at low, 26 at high) and a little more at startup (I’ve seen 35-75 but briefly).

Just make sure the Jackery DC port can handle 10A at startup.

Hi! What does your set-up look like? Looking to get one of these and plumb the exhaust out the cubby hole in the bed.

have the 8k vevor diesel heater from Amazon myself. Attached a male 12v plug to it. Bought AC 120 to a DC 12 V converter which I’m going to use to plug into the Jackery and the new plug

Large note on these! before you put any diesel in it, open it up, and make sure to tighten all the clamps. Just yesterday decided to fire this up. Make sure I can work it. Works fine. Had it filled up with diesel sitting in the garage floor came out this morning, and diesel leaking out all over the place. Thanks freaking God it was not inside my truck already. Had to pretty much take it all apart to clean all the diesel out. Sitting outside for 24 hours now, hopefully do not smell like diesel constantly.
