Learning and rethinking my cabin power system

Ken,

I was planning on venting the top of my battery box to the outside of the cabin.  I have seen where some users have put in a small fan to assist venting during times of higher charge rates.  I'm not sure if the fan is overkill or not.

Your comments on the large thermal mass of the batteries is well taken.  My thought with the insulated battery box is that it would keep the batteries colder longer if we did do a winter trip.  Whenever we are at the cabin, we adjust the temp with windows or wood stove to be comfortable for us.  I also want the batteries to get to room temp ASAP, thus the uninsulated box.

Thank you,

Jerry
