Block Heater Power

I tried my block heater this morning just to make sure it works. If anyone is interested it used between 610 and 620 watts whenever I looked with my cheap power meter. It likely isn't really temperature sensitive, but I started at +9 F and turned it off 2 hours later when it was +22 F. This is on an '11 6.2L gas engine.

BTW it *seemed* to provide cabin heat sooner than normal.
