    I like the idea of the insulated box for your cells with one of those heaters.

    Useful video. I have a few comments which might be of interest.
    I have a 16S2P setup arranged in a 8x4 block. As I don't always want to be using the inverter I wanted to provide heat more efficiently by not needing to have the inverter on so used low voltage DC heating pads. I decided to mount them under the cells but separated by an aluminium sheet with a padded mat underneath. This both helps distribute the heat evenly and protect the heater mats from the point pressure of the cells.

      This is a very good idea and I really like your setup. I'm running the inverter anyway and don't want to spend the extra money on a DC to DC converter, but what you are describing makes alot of sense.

      @@TheWilltoBuild Don't need a DC to DC converter. Just run the 12v heating mats right off your 12v battery bank. I do that and use a STC-1000 temperature controller that costs about $10 to control it. Works perfectly.

    111621/0411h PST 🇺🇸 Thank you for the demo on heating the cells during the winter.
    Once set to 70f (during winter) will the heating device shut off at 70f and restart when the temperature
    goes below 70f; constantly maintaining 70f ?
    73s…

      Exactly. It turns on once the temperature goes below that below and off when the temperature gets above it.
