      Would the current temperature management system (vents, insulation) be considered effective in keeping the batteries in their optimum/normal operating range (20 degrees)?

        Hi Thomas,

        For the purpose of a minimum viability, you could assume that this is effective. However, to ensure system resiliency, consider building insulative redundancies into your design. The frequency of 35+ degree days in Northern Australia will increase, as will the average high temperatures.

        Cheers,

        Luke
