Been searching the threads and haven't seen this answered yet. I live where it is very hot. I cannot leave LiFePO4 batteries full time in our van as the ambient is often in the hundreds and inside the van is 111 to 120 or so. The plan is to place two LiFePO4 batteries inside a Pelican or Seahorse case and mount the batteries on their sides. (securing them within the case) I then will connect them to my power backboard bus in the van with a SB Series Anderson Connector. The case would only be in the van when we travel and thus not left in the hot van at home. Question: Should there be a fan within the case and venting because the Pelican cases are air tight. Possibly a small computer fan. I am looking at purchasing two Vmax Tanks 65ah batteries for the case. (10.2" x 6.6" x 8.2" each) The MPPT, Fuse Block, Bus bars and disconnect switches are on the backboard in the van. Thank you!
