Guide to battery-powered car lock de-icers!

What is actually a battery operated car lock deicer? It is a small, light and useful part that drivers learn to appreciate in winter when their vehicle is still one conventional door lock and must be opened with the key. But what exactly is the use a battery-powered car lock de-icer? As it is, there are also different models here. Most of them have one Heating pen, which one retractable and extendable is. This heating pen is inserted into the icy lock, where it thaws the ice around the lock with its heat. Many models still have one Led lamp built in, which makes it easier to see the icy lock in the dark. The ice thaws quickly and cleanly without smearing, as is the case with conventional chemical agents Door lock deicing often happens. And the heating pen also cools down quicklyso you can plug it in without risk of burns. As a rule, the models are so small and light that they can be used in winter on the bunch of keys can be attached.

Are there any legal concerns?

Actually a stupid question, but No. The car lock de-icer is of course not intended to open the car, but only to enable the actual key to unlock the vehicle. The battery-operated car lock de-icer has no locking function, which is already on Heating pen can be seen. It does not have the typical shape of a key bit.

Is there anything to consider?

Actually, No. The battery-operated car lock de-icer is simply activated and when it is ready for use, it can be inserted into the icy lock. The ice then melts there. The condensation then runs out of the lock. The process may have to be repeated several times, as the water at particularly low temperatures may freeze again when it comes into contact with the ice-cold metal.

Why do you use a battery-powered car lock de-icer?

  • The car should be prepared for winter. This also includes the locks. With graphite spray or a special care oil, can advance prevent the lock from freezing. You should make sure that in the cold season no water gets into the car, for example when washing. Should it still happen that the vehicle lock freezes, a battery-operated car lock de-icer might be the solution.

Can you install a car lock de-icer?

  • There are vehicles that have a heated rearview mirror, a heated one rear window and also a heatable one Windscreen is not uncommon. Even heated windshield wipers is there. For the manufacturer, it would actually be easy to do. The question is, is it worth it? In our latitudes in particular, the winters are often rather mild. And if there is such a simple solution as a battery-operated car lock de-icer or a conventional spray, why install complicated technology in the car?
  • A lot is possible. You'd only need one Energy suppliers and something that heats up on command. It is best to integrate the function in the car key. Not impossible, but difficult, it shouldn't burn anything. A mobile part that you hang on your keychain in winter is more successful and easier.

What are the variants?

  • There are different models, but the function is basically always the same. Something that gets warm is inserted into the lock and then the ice melts, which previously prevented the lock from working.

The advantages:

  • It works quickly and easily as long as the batteries are charged. Apart from the melted ice, no liquids escape as is known from the liquid lock deicer.

The disadvantages:

  • No function if the battery is not charged. Now and then (depending on the manufacturer) it is too bulky in shape and therefore difficult to insert into the lock. There is a risk of bending something in the lock.
