GlacierGirl Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The hatch door for the lithium batteries has two circular vent holes. I've seen folks cover the interior of the door with Reflectix. Is there any problem covering up those vent holes in cold weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph and Dud B Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 No problem with lithium batteries. They don't need to be vented like lead-acid batteries do. Just be careful with the Reflectix around the batteries. It will conduct electricity if it comes in contact with the battery contacts/cables. I have some pink foam insulation inside the hatch for the winter. 4 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior. Tow vehicle: 2016 GMC Sierra 6.0 gas dually 4x4.
