It was suggested that I get thermal barrier blankets for my batteries in engine bay concern is mostly heat, the Suburban did not come with any battery covers/blankets when new.
Batteries are AGM Odyssey 1500 CA any thoughts, or?

Won't hurt. Won't really help either. It won't stop the batteries from getting hot - it'll just slow it down.

I've got AGM batteries in the engine bays of my Jeep and my Land Rover..... I made up some insulating/refective blankets using windscreen sun reflectors that are made of thin foam sheeting that has bright silver foil coating.......it was pretty cheap and I guess it's effective.
