Correct.
It would be about like huddling around a 150 watt lightbulb. I'm thinking
heated seats or blankets.

I'm assuming you mean for seat heat, and not space heat? It's awfully
difficult to get much heat out of 14V. Even automotive folks (with a
fairly sealed
cabin) do very minimal heating on very localized areas (read: arse). It
might be
doable, but only for localized/concentrated situations (seat heat,
blankets, etc).

Imagine getting cabin heat from a hair dryer... 1250-1500W... around 100A
for
14v.
