I use that 12Volt blanket (more like an oversize heat pad reallly) but it will keep you warm since it was not designed to be used with blankets but rather as a seat warmer while driving. A "couple of gel-cells" may not be enough. The blanket is without a thermostat and runs continuously making the heat level hard to manage and the power consumption excessive.

I am considering a cycling timer or external thermostat.

Help me out project people...

Entity Marshall Ruskin spoke thus:

Why not consider using those 12V electric blankets under sleeping bags, and have a couple of gel-cell batteries to power them
