You're right about proper battery temperature. However, even though these are gel cells I'd still be reluctant to chare 'em in a small space where people are living (like the fire lookout) - I believe there's still a little bit of out-gassing with them.
@zeekzilch Gel cell batteries are used extensively in power wheelchairs, as the extremely low gas and acid output makes them much safer for indoor use.
Nice batteries man, you need to bring that box in the house because the function more properly in 70 degree conditions.

That makes sense - gel cells are a whole lot safet than wet cells. Thanks!

HI, WHAT IS THE INSULATION FOR ?

Colorado is a cold place, especially at 9,006 feet - the insulation helps keep the batteries from freezing.
