Interesting article thanks. I guess that's my trade-off for needing the interior space and not wanting to vent the batteries from the interior.featherliteCT1 wrote:That is a beautiful battery box. However, I would be concerned about heat.
Below is a link to “battery university” web page that says:

As a guideline, each 15°F rise in temperature cuts the life of a sealed lead acid battery in half.
This means that a … battery … specified to last for 10 years at 77°F would only live
5 years if continuously exposed to 92°F and

Thankfully, we are only in Las Vegas for one more summer before we move next year.
I wonder if a heat-reflective blanket over the battery box would help while it is parked between trips? It would at least prevent the black box from absorbing so much solar heat and might keep them a bit cooler?
