Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). As electric vehicle technology develops, EV battery design will continue to evolve, meaning proper insulation and protection will depend on the construction of your electric car and the combination of your materials and design.

I live in a potentially hot and cold climate -40C to +40C (-40F to 104F) from dead winter to blazing summer.You never stop learning reading this forum, I have never even thought about the effect of extreme cold on our vans. The DEI Cell Saver - Battery Insulation Kit is essential as batteries are very susceptible to heat and vibration that could cause premature failure and hazardous leaks. While many types of adhesive are used to join all the different pieces within EV batteries, the insulating materials regulate their inner temperature. If there was a significant heat problem, they'd either be insulated from factory, or situated in the boot. It may seem like an extreme scenario but I investigated an incident a few years ago where a battery exploded and that was one of our findings.

Also, the other two cars in the family have batteries fitted in an engine bay compartment that is separated to the engine by a firewall, hence my worries. However, battery industry should have evolved significantly, especially in latest years, so such insulation could have become obsolete.

I previously used the material in below link for reconditioning an engine cover for a VAG diesel engine (tested successfully even for 8 hour long trips). Make sure to have your vehicle serviced regularly, so your engine doesn’t become a lumbering deadbeat bum taxing your poor battery to an early grave. I don't know what type of battery that is but its not an Optima therefore I'd guess its a standard one therefore has the potential to vent hydrogen under heavy load, ie trying to crank a cold engine. Cell Saver is very capable of damping vibration and will absorb and neutralise any damaging leaky battery acids. To give you a clear picture of the insulation and shock absorption material you might want to use, we’ll list a few useful examples in EV batteries.
