I imagine this has been covered elsewhere but I can't find anything. My Marinco 4" solar van didn't make it a single winter up here in Seward Alaska. The battery is already dead and won't recharge. Does anyone know any tricks to keep these things running when there isn't light for months? I...

Hi all, We’re hauling out for the summer months and needed to add some ventilation so here’s what I come up with. I figured a 12” hole was better than the 4” holes for solar vents. I’ll let you know how this turns out.
