We are planning a move and will be living with our daughter for about a year while our house is being constructed. My shop will go into storage and I will have to 'live' out of their garage without impacting parking.
I wouldn't be using the batteries outdoors. I would just like to store them there. The cellar really isn't a very good solution and the inside of their house doesn't have any good places.
My solution is to buy a Milwaukee rolling tool cabinet from HD. The top compartment is ideally sized for chargers but the garage will get cold from time to time. I wonder if a dog bed warmer would take the edge off of the cold garage keep the batteries warm.
So, would 22 watts of heat warm those batteries enough? The literature on the K&H says that it has dual thermostats. Normally, the bed stays about 15 degrees warmer than ambient. When the dog lays down, the bed goes to 102 (don't think I want that).
Thoughts? I toyed with just putting in a thermostat connected to a string of christmas lights to produce heat. That would turn the top compartment into a sort of easy-bake oven.
