Hello, I have purchased two EG4 24v 5.12kwh batteries and in the process of deciding where to keep them in my 2019 351M. I will live full-time in this rig, and I "home base" out of MN during the summer/fall months and have been caught in below freezing temps with my last rig (sometimes reaching -10F). I know this model is insulated, however the compartment where the ONAN 5500 generator is not.
The operating parameters of these batteries are as follows:
Charging Range: 0 c ~ 45 c (32F to 113F)
Discharge Range -20 c ~ 55 c (-4F to 131F)
Storage Range -20 c ~ 55 c (-4F to 131F)
Putting them in the compartment with the generator seems like I would be over temp when it is running, especially in full-sun/summer mode where the A/C units are running and the generator is heavily used. Anyone else run into this issue and the solution? Venting with an auto-temp sensing exhaust fan? Different location?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
