Design Engineering 010480 Cell Saver Battery Insulation Kit

Product Information

Most of the manufacturers/importers in our market do not credit anybody with warranty carriage costs, but if they do, we will pass it onto you. If it is really cold and the truck or car will sit for more than a couple of days, I will put a battery charger on the battery (My CTEK smart charger has a cold weather function that I use for precisely this purpose.

Cell Saver is easy to install and excess material can be trimmed to accommodate batteries of most sizes and shapes. This insulation also protects the individual components within the battery pack from damage caused by rough movement, A.When I was nursing a weak battery on my old '76 Chevy Pickup, I got in the habit of bringing the battery inside with me. By wrapping it in lots of plastic and insulation I suspect you have the potential to trap the vented gas and create an explosive atmosphere. They don’t have any insulation because, one, they’re designed to work to ungodly low temperatures, and two, even if they had insulation, there’s no internal heat source, so there’d be no heat for the insulation to trap in.

Though I used it successfully for the diesel engine cover so far, I know the petrol engines heat more than diesels, hence my question. I think the only reason you see insulation around batteries is to protect the battery from radient heat from the engine.

Then in went the battery, and I put the rest of the insulation (a long piece 12" across I believe) in around the battery. The chemical reactions happening in the battery do produce some heat, whether it's enough to be worth considering I don't know. I have one in my Durango and keep it there, we live where it is 90 to 100 degrees for 3 to 4 months a year, including this week at the end of Sept right through next week! Ceramic has strong heat dissipation abilities and the ability to sustain high temperatures for long periods of time without exceeding its limit (i.

But once the engine is off, all of those electrical systems just suck power directly from the battery.I wouldn't worry too much about the battery bouncing, mine was unfixed for years and it never caused any harm, that was with plenty of off roading, ended up building a bracket though just to stop the annoying MOT advisory! So let’s stop pretending our fancy new vehicles are beyond understanding, or powered by secret, reverse-engineered alien technology, or filled with milk chocolate, or whatever it is you believe is going on in there.
