Now that I live in the Arizona desert, I have a question about the grid heater. During the summer it regularly gets to well over 100 degrees (up to 115 sometimes). Cooked batteries are a common problem here.
The grid heater obviously isn't needed during the summer months here. Does that heater always come on? Or is it thermostatically operated?
I was thinking of disconnecting it, or maybe even putting in a switch to keep it off during the summer. Giving the batteries a break during the summer seems like a good idea. Any opinions?
