There are a number of heat sources and some may withstand the weight of batteries better than others. Or they may fit the battery compartment better. Also, if I needed a heat source I would buy one without a thermostat and I would buy a separate thermostat with a display and remote temp sensor. That way I could set it to prevent the batteries from going below the target. Batteries, reptiles, and seedlings have different ideal temerature preferences. It would be a waste of energy trying to keep a battery at the ideal temperature of a tropical plant or reptile.

Super long life cycle, no gassing, no maintenance, (built in battery maintenance system)...so easy to carry also! 30lbs/125lbs!
Long cycle life ? RE series true deep cycle also can give a lot of cycles .

I can add to that; better efficiency, no Peukerts, more usable kWh per Ahr and less maintenance than some Pb types.

Just an update for anyone curious. I built a 2" thick Styrofoam box out of one of those big 4x8 sheets from Home Depot. Inside with the batteries, I put a 3 gallon fish tank with a simple 25w tank heater hooked to a thermostat. Out side temp right now is 14 degrees - inside the box is 35, exactly where it is set to be. Can't be any happier!Comment
