Me?
Well my problem is my batteries cant put out enough power to run the glow plugs and crank the engine when the batteries are below freezing.
Thats why I installed them with forklift battery quick dissconnects, so that they may be quickly and safely removed and installed even in total darkness. That will allow me to protect them from the cold at night.
To crank the diesel engine I need those little CR26250 batteries to run at about an 18C rate for a few seconds.
When the temperature gets below freezing you cant get 18C out of them anymore.
My solution; build a bigger battery, adding AMP20 cells to my existing CR26350 packs so that the batteries only have to run at 6C rate to crank the engine.
They should, or at least I hope they will put out more than 6C to well below 0'F.
