Craig from Fox mentioned on the last update call, eventually the whole range of batteries will have integrated heaters to allow them to operate outside without insulation, it is apparently a feature that can be enabled or disabled depending on where you have them installed.
Craig from fox posted the following details recently which provides more insight:
Craig Woollaston:
We're introducing new variants of the EP batteries - the EP5-H and EP11-H, as well as some new ECS variants. This is in response to regulatory changes that are resulting in more outdoor installs, so it is an additional layer of protection. By default, when the battery reaches 0 degrees, it will warm the battery back to 10 degrees. However, you can optionally set this is activate higher (up to 5 degrees) and raise the temperature to 15 degrees. The EP5-H and EP11-H will be available within a couple of weeks. However, if you have a battery that doesn't have this function, and were you to add another battery for expansion that does, the warmup function cannot be activated, so this is very much for new installs.
