P=VI

600W=12V*X

X=50A

The biggest deep cycle Crappy Tire sells is 103 Amp-hours. It will work for two hours in your case. Not looking good Steve. soory to get your hopes up.
yeah, I figured in another 10% loss if I used an inverter instead of trying to fire the block heater directly from DC current... and 130Ah batteries are really 'spensive!
