Hey All,

For those of us that live & work in freezing winter temps – What is the overall effect on LI tool batteries stored in a frozen truck overnight, needs to be used or charged & the battery is -15˚ to 32˚F?
I assume it’s the same as stationary LI batteries, though I have never seen a warning on the battery package or in the tool literature.

What are you all doing with work tool batteries in freezing  temps?

Are you taking the batteries inside to be warm & charge at night?

Thanks in advance!
