Design Engineering 010480 Cell Saver Battery Insulation Kit

Product Information

Most people aren’t overly concerned with how clean things are underneath their vehicle’s hood, but they really should be. 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 previously used the material in below link for reconditioning an engine cover for a VAG diesel engine (tested successfully even for 8 hour long trips). Agree and bottom line is the car manufacturer spent an extra 25 cents (maybe more) or so when building the vehicle to put it there, so there is a reason or they would not have.

Actually it was that thread where I saw the larger battery and lots of other great info such as the OBDELEVEN coding etc. As I am in an area with moderately cold winters I am sure this will assist a bit in that regard as well even though the wrap is only about 1/8” - 3/16” thick.

Many of these gap filler materials are cut in basic shapes, but others have more complex designs or compositions that could be challenging to process on a larger scale. This Cell Saver by DEI is very capable of damping vibration and will absorb and neutralize any damaging leaky battery acids. I guarantee if you park the car in 30 degree (F) weather, by the next morning the battery will be 30 degrees, with or without the insulation.

We’ll start with the battery – that noble Keeper Of The Charge that starts the whole internal combustion business going. Your story about “nursing a weak battery” reminded me of a time years ago when I nursed a battery on my 1968 Ford. By wrapping it in lots of plastic and insulation I suspect you have the potential to trap the vented gas and create an explosive atmosphere. Considering this, plus the auto electrician I went to see reccomending it, I have decided to wrap my battery in some insulation to try and keep the worst of the frosts and cold off it. You can purchase a new one direct from the auto manufacturer or find used ones which are just as functional at salvage yards.One of the best ways to properly protect your EV battery is to find the most effective insulation and shock absorption design. Though I used it successfully for the diesel engine cover so far, I know the petrol engines heat more than diesels, hence my question. While many types of adhesive are used to join all the different pieces within EV batteries, the insulating materials regulate their inner temperature. On my old diesel, I have the block heater, the battery heater, and the tender charger all wired to a single plug that I can use in very cold weather.
