[RE-wrenches] Passive Battery Venting

[Drake]

Hello Wrenches,

A client wants to use a passive battery venting method with a heat 
exchanger to the outside for his bank of Full River AGM batteries. 
Below is a link to one site that recommends this method. Has anyone 
used this method?

My main concern for about the batteries is that they not get cold and 
lose capacity during the short days when storage is most needed.

He would also like to connect the terminals inside the box to a pass 
through jumper http://www.bdbatteries.com/lugs.php?id=269 and then 
run the cables, without conduit, to the inverter. As far as I know, 
conduit is always required on the battery cables even if fuses are 
used in the battery box. Has anything changed?

Thanks,

Drake
