I’ve been reading about the impact of temperature on LiFe batteries. It looks like our “normal” Texas 105F degree summers are not ideal.
After looking around a bit though, it appears that our soil depth at 20 inches is about 73F (23C). Not bad.
Has anyone put their batteries in a vault? I can see some drawbacks (mostly the possibility of flooding and access). But it would seem worth it for the constant favorable temp.
Here is a map of the US with ground temps. This was more difficult to locate than I would have thought.
