Features of a Smart Timer

At The Power Badger, we’ve engineered our Engine Block Heater Controller with a suite of features designed for peak performance in the coldest conditions.

Benefits of Using a Smart Timer

Utilizing a smart timer, especially in harsh winter conditions, results in significant energy and cost savings. The ability to have your vehicle ready to start with minimal power usage not only optimizes energy consumption but also ensures reliable vehicle starts even in extreme cold.

How a Smart Timer Works

Our smart timer, The Power Badger, operates by sensing outside temperatures and automatically adjusting its timing to ensure your vehicle’s engine is ready to start when you are. It calculates the best time to activate the heater based on the actual outside temperature, ensuring energy isn’t wasted by turning on too early or too late.

Setting up The Power Badger is straightforward. Simply connect it to your engine block heater, pan/tank heater, or battery warmer. With a capacity of up to 1800 watts, it’s versatile and powerful enough to handle your vehicle’s needs.

Programming a Smart Timer

Programming our smart timer involves selecting either the Timed Ready Mode for a precise start time or the Maintain Ready Mode for continuous readiness. You’ll input your desired “Ready Time,” and The Power Badger does the rest, automatically calculating and adjusting as needed.
