Design Engineering 010480 Cell Saver Battery Insulation Kit

Product Information

We’ll start with the battery – that noble Keeper Of The Charge that starts the whole internal combustion business going. These kits usually have a plastic pad to go under the battery and adhesive material that applies directly to the battery. Make sure it fits snugly, so that on really hot days (or cold ones) your battery stays comfy and is able to function happily at its optimal temperature. The battery will heat up with a thin layer of foam within minutes of the time it would heat up without it.

I was thinking of Fiat fitting these insulations for some reason (instead of rather choosing to reduce costs). This insulation also protects the individual components within the battery pack from damage caused by rough movement, A. I too know I have arrived in life because I don’t need to do many of those similar hacks on my cars as I did years ago.

Many reviewers on another site mentioned the tape supplied did not stick well so I just used my high gloss silver aluminum tape used to seal sections of HVAC ducts or exhaust vent piping.

Batteries work better in the heat, the battery is one big chemical reaction and heat speeds up those reactions. The jacket keeps the winter damp from getting to the battery leads and helps to keep the battery insulated from the weather. Part of my thinking was, due to the petrol shortage problem in the SW of England that we are having at this time, the car would stay unused for extended periods.Ceramic has strong heat dissipation abilities and the ability to sustain high temperatures for long periods of time without exceeding its limit (i.

Actually it was that thread where I saw the larger battery and lots of other great info such as the OBDELEVEN coding etc. Whether you need to fix, build, create or learn, eHow gives you practical solutions to the problems life throws at you.As Fred-2 says, it’s a 1/4inch of foam, i say less and thats probably why I did not see it the first time I looked. Batteries are very susceptible to heat and vibration that can cause premature failure and hazardous acid leaks. My old Rover 3500S (M plate 1974) (P6 / Rover 2000 bodyshape) had the battery located in the rear offside wing / chassis. Most newer vehicle models have some sort of battery insulation, but if you have an older car or are replacing a battery, its a good thing to have a look at.

I have a highline and it has the engine under guard and the coolant heater but you get that in UK as well.Cell Saver is designed to protect against damaging vibration and will absorb and neutralize any battery acids that may be present.
