I've got my 24v 280ah bank built into a milwaukee packout box. Cabin is heated but the pilot can go out in a big wind. I set my BMS charge cut off to 1°C. I don't care to take my cells out to pit a pad under them. What I was thinking is maybe a large ceramic low watt resistor like you would find in a boot drier. Something low, slow, and gentle. I could just connect it constant and use seasonally. or try to get fancy and run on a thermostat. Open to suggestions.
 
If a guy could find a basic snap disc thermostat that opens at say 40°f and closes at say 35° would be about perfect.

I haven't tried it yet but 30w cement resistor should give off a little warmth.
