Hey I'm sorta Baptist, so I hope you do not mind the quotes around your handle.
Here is a picture from my pic folder here that shows where my battery sits underneath the floor board of the rear trunk:
Yea I keep all of that mess underneath the false compartment out of sight. I like your idea of insulating it. I hope that is all I need to do. After tonight's test drive to raise my mileage I notice the colder the nights get, the dimmer my lights are getting when I drive in EOC. I have to do something soon. Your idea sounds like the best way to start. I did not realize those pipe wrap heaters pulled so much current- that's all I need is to smoke another DC to AC converter, there are a lot of cheapies on the market that do not have the amperage to power hardly a flashlight.
