Can anyone speak as the the effects of sub zero temperatures on battery life? Say you live in upstate NY, or Alaska for example, and keep you cars outdoors.
Sub zero temps are tough on a wet cell battery. Can lithium ion batters take on those conditions?
Well to paraphrase the late, great Johnnie Cochran:
If the temp’s too low
the car won’t go
“Can lithium ion batters take on those conditions?”
Li-ion batteries are being phased out.
At 0°C, for example, a lead-acid battery’s capacity is reduced by up to 50%, while a lithium iron phosphate battery suffers only a 10% loss at the same temperature.
