- latchkey 3y agoAll of the LiFEPO4 batteries need to be kept above 0C/32F, while charging.

I live in a warm weather area so it was worth the cost difference for me at the time. Worst case, I can just get a simple 12v heating pad for it.

- xattt 3y agoThanks! I had a (much) smaller LiFePO4 cache battery in my dynamo bike light stored in an outdoor shed that significantly killed its capacity, so I was wondering what people did to manage these types of batteries in outdoor conditions.
