I have an ATX-20 here in Houston. No issues so far. As best I can tell, the AC actually vents to the battery compartment. I will post a photo of my set up when I get home. I pulled out hte ugly black battery case completely, and used the MeLe to hold my ATX-20. With that, the battery should get enough airflow around it. It is still basically separated from the engine bay itself. Worst case, I will add some reflective tape to the outside of the MeLe and the metal divider between the battery and engine (Sorry, don't know the technical name for this metal).Any idea what temperature range they are suited for? Would hate to buy one when where I live can easily hit 110 degrees.
I keep tabs on Li- based batteries with a hawk's eye
Ah wow, I did not at all know that the A/C also goes to the battery. In the six years I've owned my car, I have only used the A/C a handful of times (heat resistance LOL).
Correct. The Battery Tracker is $35.00.
HVAC/AC does not move through the battery box. It's only vented by cowl induction through the cowl.
That makes much more sense, thank you.
If you’re looking for an AG tracker I have one I can sell ya since I no longer have an AG battery.
I saw that tonight. It looked odd, but you can actually see the cabin filter. The opening in the cowl is in the drivers side, it routes past the battery, then through the filter into the cabin. I'd bet it still sucks relatively cool air past the battery box.
How does the tracker compare to the voltage the car is reporting?The Bluetooth app works great.
It's not comparable, because during engine running, it will still just display the current voltage going into the battery as well.
I run mine without the cover or the battery box, and it has been fine. In Houston. 90 degrees out. It was fine.
I know, right. I was thrown by the fact that the battery cables hold the battery in place so well. 5 lbs vs 26 lbs for me.
