Hi all, This doesn't cover all the concerns for me, but it does show at least some of them: https://youtu.be/_PgthByAYz4

Don't know who makes this brand, but the CANBAT with heater blurb says:
"In cold temperatures, the BMS ( battery management system) disconnects from the cells to protect your battery. Prior to charging, the built-in heating systems draw power from the charger in order to heat up the battery."
I have not watched that BB video yet, but does that mean you lose your 12v to the rig during the heating phase of the recharge?
Or do you still get 12v from the converter since the charger must be getting 120v and you don't need the battery when the converter is working? Unless it is an inverter/charger--where do you get the 12v to run that?

I see their spec balancing voltage is only 13.6v. Relion spec is higher. They claim it works down to -35C but very muddled as to what it really does for when you can draw from it as opposed to when you can charge it--badly written blurb!
