12 volt battery question please

My batteries are very difficult to remove for winter. Plus I may want to take up ice fishing/camping again!! I am thinking about building hard foam insulation around the batteries to help keep them warm as they are mounted under the truck. So my question would be should I remove the insulation in the summer so they don't get too hot? Would there be a difference between flooded and AGM? Thanks, DJ

    As long as they are fully charged they will not freeze. Putting insulation around them will only retain heat if something is making heat to retain. Otherwise, once they get cold, the insulation will help keep them cold as the outside air warms up.
