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

Nathan – 

 

I think the thread here is it totally depends on your situation. I am sticking my neck out here but what the heck. 

After 23 years at this is what I do.

 

Long winter and cool summer night – probably insulate as keeping warm is to your benefit with a higher winter temp. If it is in a heated space I never insulate.

 

Hot summer and mild winter – You could probably go either way insulate or not. Or insulate for winter and remove in summer. This is a big expense if you were to hire it out [for a homeowner].

 

Mild year round – why bother to insulate.

 

Long hot summers Mild winter  - Sink it in the ground if it would help reduce summer temps?

 

Ok let me have it.
