Battery Heat Shielding

[threedogs]

As an old v8 and turbo person this is 100% correct BUT there is some new wraps out now that are meant to prevent this, I'm about to fit a manifold and turbo blanket and wrap the dump in this new stuff so ill let you know how it goes.

will wait with interest on the outcome, I run a beanie atm
and my aux battery never get hot let alone warm

Yep... agree with BB

The placcy shroud has a lip at the top and an air gap between battery and shroud on the sides.

IIRC there is/should be a small flexible pipe about 2 inch dia connecting the placcy 'cover' to a vent in the inner guard to exchange ambient air.

Mine is not fitted but if you want a pic yell out?

Heres pic of the start battery cover there is also
a small piece of pipe to vent off into the guard

Here's my basic heat shield. I used the stuff from supercheap. Folded it and secured it to the battery tray. Used some rubber fuel hose to top it off.
