It can get well below freezing here. Does cold even bother these newer lithium batteries?

    IIRC heat is the bigger issue for lithium batteries.

    They’re temporarily less effective in cold weather but excessive heat is the battery killer.

      Heat is the killer for car batteries too; much to my surprise, I had to buy far more in south Texas than upstate New York. Cold makes batteries less capable, but heat accelerates degradation dramatically.
