Again, this is all a distraction from the point I was actually making.
The point in the very unlikely circumstance that you need to use your LiFePO4 camper battery in temperatures below -20C, the battery will work just fine, you will be able to fire up the furnace or battery heater and warm up the camper. At that point you can charge your battery, fill your water tank, and do what every you need to do.
Every time there is a discussion of LiFePO4 batteries, there are always a few who say that they are no good if you camp in cold weather (some are now even claiming 'cool weather'). My experience is exactly the opposite, they have worked just fine for me in cold weather. Yes there are limitations on charging, but these are generally easy to overcome, and are not nearly as restrictive as the limitations on your water system.
Ohmygosh, you’re actually correct. And you actually explained your position succinctly and completely compared to the passive aggressive, vague references when you were apparently trying to prove your point, and it is essentially what I was saying as well.
One needs to take more care and treat life’s differently to use in cold weather.
So even though pianotuna is sort of obsessed with batteries , he’s still correct, imo, in that most people throw their batteries in the battery compartment and that’s it and they would be real surprised when their batteries don’t charge.
One needs to make accommodations if you will for life’s.
Or to put it another way, they still don’t charge in the cold. Doesn’t matter if it’s -100 if you keep them warm. Then they’re not in the cold.
Thank you for finally using your words!
