Abstract
A single unit is provided which serves the dual functions of windshield washer reservoir and storage battery heat shield. The unit is a thin walled box-like structure sized to overlie a battery. A portion or all of the sides of the unit are formed to provide a cavity for holding windshield washer fluid. This cavity, with or without the presence of fluid, provides extremely effective thermal insulation for the prevention of battery overheating.
