I've done a quick search on cooling and many solutions posted here seem heavily engineered and expensive. My offgrid solar system saves me about $2 a day from my electricity bills, so I have opted for using a cheap domestic evaporative cooler:
That works quite well on its own, but I can improve the airflow by placing a light linen cover over the top.
Without the cooler, my batteries rise to about 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. With the cooler I can reduce the battery temperature to about 5 degrees below the ambient temperature.
I am not sure how well this Gerry-rigged system sits with the philosophy of the forum, but if anyone has any constructive thoughts, I’d be happy to receive them
