Ok So I'm aabout ready to whip out my dead batteries and replace them with Numax !000A CCA jobbies. I want to rip out my twin battery mount throw it in the skip.

Firstly I want to wash out and clean the battey box in the 90. Probably cover the whole inside with stone chip bolt the batteries in with a home made twin clamp. Line the inside of the battery box with closed cell foam and block all the holes except 2 in the bottom to let the water out.
Closed cell foam jacket to go around the batteries covered in a water tight fabric. I really want to stop the cold getting to these batteries.

Will re wire the starter with an engine cut out and the aux batt with a 250A @24V marine cutout.

So my question is: has anyone ever made any battery blankets or whatever I remember BoB saying he made somthing not so long ago?
 
What about buying couple of old wetsuits off ebay. Neoprene is perfect for the job, because it doesnt absorb much water, and will insulate them well...
