Similar However the BAG , is the MRE heater , (SOFT OD bag the has a heating
element in it)
It can heat 4 MRE entrée in it, or heat water in backs the are about the
same size as a MRE main meal
Kind of a heating pad on steroids that zigs and zags inside the bag to make
4 compartments to heat stuff in , MRE main entrée or bag of water, (I guess
they are like a zip lock with water in it,)
But I have not been able to find the info on them the bag that holds water
, not stats.
I don't want a plastic mess in my mew heater bag ;-)
HERE IS THE ONE I BOUGHT

Your original post sounded like you were looking for info on the Hot
Beverage Bag but now you say you want a bag for your vehicle MRE heater??
Is this anything close?
Mounted Water Ration Heater (MWRH): This device is used to heat water, which
can then be used for hot drinks, to heat pouched or canned rations, or to
provide hot water for hygiene purposes. It can heat 3.75 liters of water to
boiling in 20 minutes. The basin is large enough to hold up to 5 MRE entrees
at once. There is a spigot on the front of the device to dispense water for
beverages or hygiene purposes. The device can be set to heat and keep water
heated to any temperature up to boiling. This device is designed to be
installed in a vehicle, and runs off vehicle power. They were increasingly
common on NATO vehicles during the Twilight War, being installed or
retrofitted to many vehicles through early 1999. They can be installed
successfully on any armored vehicle with an Easy: Mechanic or Electronics
roll, or a Difficult: Intelligence or Education roll. Weight: 4.5 kg; Price:
$40 (C/R)
