do you use a tiny computer fan or anything to blow the heat around or are you just using the heat radiating off the alumium base?

If using a thermostat controller like mine it must be placed to measure the heat in the batteries, not the surrounding air which would heat up quickly and perhaps shut down the heater before the batteries reach a good temp. If you look at my diagram and read the text, I placed the temp sensor between the 2 batteries which are tight together and below the top.
I use a Victron shunt connected directly to one of the battery terminals. No fan, aluminum dissapates heat for all of the batteries.
