This is the only company I know of that has dealt with the low
temperature charging issue. Its a great product, and the blue tooth
monitoring is an excellent feature too. This is what the other Li+
batteries should be doing. The big down side is they are currently
limited to 12v. Wish they made a 48v pack.

My personal opinion is that you should not buy any lithium battery that does
not provide adequate protection for all modes of operation.
Freezing does not damage the battery; charging a frozen battery may damage it
quickly. Trickle charging the battery is not the solution.
There are two solutions: provide a heat source to keep the batteries above
freezing or incorporate a temperature controller to disable the charger if the
battery is unsafe to charge.

Folks,
If I have a charger that does not have low battery charge cut-off, I can get in
trouble if I have a frozen pack and apply a charging voltage.
But, if I start with a pack that is above freezing and keep a trickle charge on
it, can I keep that pack safe from freezing and damage?
Or at some point, as ambient temperature drops, the pack will freeze and be
damaged anyway?
Thanks,
Mark Frye
