We've sacrificed a small-medium ice chest to be the battery box for our
tool batteries. affixed to the side of the ice chest is a small 7
watt reptile heat pad with the cord sneaking out the lid and plugged in
overnight. You don't want the pad on the bottom it'll actually get the
battery setting on it too warm.
At the job as we need them, them come out warm and by the
time they are discharged the temp has come up to above freezing for
charging, or put it back in the ice chest. If its not plugged-in in the
truck, don't forget to load the battery ice chest before the morning
launch to work.

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!
