<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We all tend to mount E batteries on some sort of wooden /
carbon / nomex shelf and tie them down with Velcro or a clamp plate - none of
which are very good at transferring heat. Possibly we could improve heat
transfer from the batts to the cooling air by using aluminum, or better yet -
finned aluminum heatsink material for the shelf / clamp. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've spent a fair bit of time trying for find appropriate
heatsink material online - something 4" long x 3" wide with a high count of
thin, maybe 1/4 high, fins might work. Unfortunately, there's tons of
heatsink material available from Newark, Mauser, etc. but it's difficult to find
the right stuff - especially material light enough for our use. The closest I've
come is Thermaflo # E1243, but I'm lacking a small quantity source.
