If you supersize the pack......
If I doubled up my pack I’d be almost ahead (weight/cost wise) to install the $20 group U1 lead battery instead and not have the temperature issues. Sadly I don’t think I could safely mount a lead acid battery inside the cabin, which would mean I wouldn’t get to delete the few feet of cable going from cabin into trunk
