Got a question. Do you see a reduced capacity of almost half in extreme hot or cold weather? When the weather is below 30 or above 100 both with use or ac and heat I can only manage 2 vs 4 hours of run time before I get the beep, beep, beep, beep and the inverter shuts off due to low voltage. I didnt think lifepo4 batteries were that sensitive to extreme temperatures like other batteries and these are mounted above the ima box between the shock towers in this hatch back vehicle.

I use to have an issue in the summer with the inverter cutting out due to heat, but putting it under the rear floor vs in the back in the prius box and running the ac 15 minutes before turning it on solved that.
