Hi,

Google found this source for technical details about the A123 battery:
http://revolectrix.com/support_docs/item_1229.pdf

The biggest finds are:
  • 140F - dramatic loss of service life
  • 170F - cell failure
What I don't have are the cold temperature effects.

BTW, they make series, A123 compatible, chargers that handle up to 10 cells. I've sent them a note asking if there is a combination that can support the 15 cells I will need.
