^Ok, fair enough. So you are a researcher in Anarctica. (Because the Arctic never gets that cold and by never I mean at least since LiFePO4 batteries have been around)
And apparently you’re out with your instruments on the coldest days of the year or decade in Antarctica. They’re not going to work bud.
I’d like to hear how you operate in -94F temps and colder….I’m just a greenhorn I suppose because much below -50F, nothing runs. At -60 you virtually can’t keep heaters fired to to keep fuel heated enough to fire the heaters to have a place to warm your batteries.
Even in the Arctic you don’t really go outside much below -50F.
Not everyone here has worked or lived above the Arctic circle so your claims may sound impressive but until you can explain the process I’m not buying it.
Oh, you must be a freelancer, because I don’t know of any agency or r company that operates in the Arctic that doesn’t have strict cold weather protocols that shut down virtually everything between -35 and -50F for safety.
But maybe that’s changed since I worked on the Slope in the winter.
