It has been wicked cold here, it was a high of 25F these past few days with it being 2F at night. My batteries really don't like it that low because I have to insulate them. I can't charge them if they are below 32F, so I have been warming them up with a space heater in the trunk for 3-4 hours before charging them and it has worked out. I am going to Home Depot this weekend and get some insulation to do my trunk and battery pack.
