It might sound cheap but I have incandescent lamps, also used reptile tank
heaters, watered heaters work too.

Re: [RE-wrenches] heating pads for batteries

[Michael Morningstar via RE-wrenches]

So, what I’ve been using are ag seed tray heat mats. I have been using
almost exclusively Discover AES or Helios. We use the Lynk II gateway with
all systems and utilize its temperature controlled relays to activate the
mats. The battery calls for heat, Imagine that. With open loop systems we
use the Lynk II to command AGS also.

They are super tough,come in many sizes many come with thermostats. 
Reasonable flexible.

Re: [RE-wrenches] heating pads for batteries

[Chris Daum via RE-wrenches]

Hello all you brilliant people:
 
Does anyone have something new for lightly heating a battery bank in a cold 
climate?  Something reliable and reasonably efficient?  We’ve been selling LFP 
batteries for a while, but few to our northern customers who cannot keep them 
from freezing.  I can give advise about insulated battery boxes (and have one 
myself), but surely there must be something new out there.  
 
Here we see low temps of -20F below – sometimes -40…..
 
I recently spoke with a fellow who offers heaters for gutters to prevent ice 
creep that can ruin your shingles or roof, but there must be something more 
adaptable than that.  Any suggestions?
