Why would you lose range when it gets cold? I thought that temperature would have the opposite effect on battery performance, where higher temperatures decrease

Why would you lose range when it gets cold? I thought that temperature would have the opposite effect on battery performance, where higher temperatures decrease efficiency.
- kardos 9y agoBecause you'll probably be running the heating -- we're talking Canadian cold here ;-)
- mlonkibjuyhv 9y agoA cold battery has less available charge, and a hot battery has less available cycles.
- brianwawok 9y agoI believe the battery can warm itself up which changes the math a bit.
- et-al 9y agoLike any other chemical reaction, batteries have an optimal temperature range, and extreme cold will slow down the reactions that transfer electrons. At the same time, cold temperatures should help slow down self-discharge.
