Steve,
You can't recharge Li when they are cold. If it is -30, it may take HOURS of furnace run time to warm up the RV and the battery bank, even if it is in the living quarters. So it may be impossible to get the battery bank to where it is possible to recharge it, unless it is a massive bank to start with. If you roll your own--fine--but if you are buying drop in it may cost a pretty penny. The alternative is to remove the batteries to a warm environment and then return them to the RV.
I realize this is an outlier possibility--but it is the situation in which I live and RV in.
who was talking about recharing them when cold, he said he would have to take them out for long periods when he wasnt there. no, you simply need to turn them off and let them sit. sitting in the cold over the winter wont hurt them and in the spring when you go back to your seasonal site you just turn the switch back on.
maybe we need some claification on what he ment by that statment but I took it as removing the batteries for the off season when they wernt using it.
