I decided to do more research. Turns out that conversation I had with Battleborn last winter was accurate.
From Battleborn's web site: https://battlebornbatteries.com/faq/
"Storing batteries in subzero weather (-15°F or more) has the potential to crack the ABS plastic and more importantly could cause a faster loss of capacity, in some cases drastically more than the typical 2 – 4% per month loss."
"Battle Born Batteries protect themselves from charging in cold temperatures and won’t accept a charge once the internal cell temperature drops to 24°F. At this point they will continue to discharge even down to -4°F. At this temperature we recommend no longer pulling power to avoid damaging the batteries."
Guess I'm not starting that furnace!
We camp to much in all kinds of weather and I'm not getting into moving batteries back and forth from heated storage. That was Battleborn's suggestion last winter.
I'm asking these questions for my Airstream friend with a battery box located outside the camper on the tongue. His Lifelines are starting to lose capacity.
Enjoy,
Perry
