I put the batteries into a 30 " deep ground vault when possible. Earth temperature is much more stable.

Hi all

Yes good points.
However I have good reason to believe that the dual plastic case batteries ( rolls or Trojan) act like good insulation. I'm working on some designs for the deep tropics and heat build up is a huge problem.

Whether I use fans, water, or AC Units, I think that individual steel cased cells will have greater surface area and cool faster than other batteries.

But maybe others have different ideas?

Why would you NOT use the Surrette batteries. Far easier to move, up to 2400 Has@20 hr rate. Steel CONDUCTIVE/ RUSTING cases never made sense to me. The only reason I would use something steel would be the AGM when seismic security was required.

Hi All,

I'm wondering what options people are using for steel cased individual 2v industrial cells.

thanks
