By the time I get to the end of a thread my input has been injected by others but here are a couple of things:
Thermal mass of the surrounding building is best for regulating battery temps. Consider a vented "Hood" instead of a box. For ventilation purposes, all Lead Acid batteries should be treated as flooded. In-ground batteries may be hard to service. Cooler batteries are always better than warmer batteries. If a liquid cooled generator is close by, use some excess radiator heat to warm the battery area. In cold environments, don't forget to add water towards the end of the charge cycle. DUH!!! Rob
