ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for heating and for maintaining temperatures in storage batteries is shown in the preferred forms of the present invention as including a T-shaped insulation blanket, a thermal cap, a thermally insulating mat, and a battery heater. The battery heater is secured to the battery by generally Z-shaped hangers and a securement strap and includes a heat exchanger connected to the cooling system of the vehicle. The heat exchanger is enclosed by a back cover telescopically received in a unit base. Ribs on the back cover and unit base create air buffers to reduce heat transfer to the battery. The thermally insulating mat is formed of a sheet having integral ribs and is of a size smaller than the bottom of the battery such that the bottom edges of the battery trap air between the ribs and beneath the storage battery to form an air barrier. The head of the T-shaped insulation blanket is held in a wrapped condition around the faces of the storage battery and the leg of the T-shaped insulation blanket extends over the top of the battery and has its free end located beneath the head of the T-shaped insulation blanket. The thermal cap covers the top of the storage battery and extends down the faces of the storage battery beneath the head of the insulation blanket in a wrapped condition around the faces of the battery.
