Given the cold temps for the last few days has anyone running lithiums had any issues with charging. Seems the specs on just about all the brands say they won't charge with temps 32 or below. Always seems to be couple of times a year in Dec, Jan, and Feb where its that cold for some time.
Some of the lithiums have hearters built in.
Thanks

I leave mine on a 3hr. timer for the charge, middle of the night, they were at 100% prior to the cold snap.
no battery likes the extreme cold and lithium like it least.

Boo, each brand has their own thoughts on that. Ionics wants 50%-80% long term storage. Impulse Lithium seems to want 100% storage. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen anything posted about the cheaper cost lithiums though.
