Hi all, I live in northern utah, and it can get fairly cold here in the winter(close to 20 fahrenheit in the night)
I am using nissan leaf batteries in my Geo Metro EV conversion. The leaf batteries, as with most other lithium batteries, is not supposed to be charged below 32 degrees fahrenheit. I am worried that I will not be able to charge my EV during the winter because of the cold outside temperatures. I also do not currently have access to a heated garage. I am considering adding a battery heater. I was thinking of attaching one of those silicone heating pads that are used as ICE block heaters to the bottom of my 2 steel battery boxes, but I was wondering if anyone had any better ideas?
