I'd second the ground vault. We used either the plastic cargo boxes
(for up to 4 batteries) or the Greenlee job boxes for up to 12
batteries. We add foam board to the outside, which keeps the metal
from being in direct contact with the soil. Like Todd noted, it can
really moderate the temp swings. It will basically maintain at
roughly the avg temp for the time of year, if not closer to the year
round avg. If you're interested, I can post a picture, it comes out
looking pretty slick.<br>
