Winterizing lithium batteries
How do I winterize my lithium batteries or do I have to. The temperature is starting to drop at night. I read if fully charged they only lose 3% per month.

From a seller:

which is pretty much what I said with more explanation asside from the slant that Battleborn are the best ;) I got my numbers from the cell manufactor instead of a sales page as I am always worried about sales misconscrewing the numbers to protect there warenty, which they very very often do, and I understand them if they can just slightly change the operating instructions a tiny bit and reduce the chance of a return by 80% its in therebest interest. some take this a little to far though.
there are also slight differeneces between form factors of the same chemistry, for examle cylindrical (battle born) pouch (nobody I hope) and prismatic (becoming more and more popular all the time due to the simplicity of building). most of the differences are in how wekk they can shed excess heat from charging and discharging which affects the rates.
