[RE-wrenches] To insulate a battery bank DEPENDS on a lot of factors.

[Dana]

Sealed batteries do not require a vent , therefore no air
passage - less influence of ambient exterior temps to the
bank. Perhaps on a small bank this would have an influence. 

On a large bank in a low usage scenario, IE: second home
with no one home, the system may be full by 10AM and the fan
runs for most of the day inducing cool air.

 

Granted most systems have a present [physically] home owner.
I have many systems that float for a good part of the
winter, awaiting the arrival of either the owner for a week
or spring.

HI Dana,

 

I'm curious about why you differentiate sealed vs. flooded
batteries?
