    Anyone think lining the battery box with thermal wrap would help?
    I run Odyssey in mine and those batteries are not cheap! So anything I can do to help preserve the batteries, I'll try.
    Im on the road 48 weeks a year so truck is powered up constantly. And Opti-Idle on anytime Im sitting still.

    Switch to LipoFe4 (lithium batteries) from amazon. Litime group 31 is what I run. 225 a piece.

    Longer lasting, faster charging, bluetooth enabled, half the weight of AGM.

    Only issue is they won't charge if under 32 degrees
