Re: [EVDL] li ion battery in cold weather

I am late to this discussion and have little to add, but this called me to comment: "I did a bit of research. Some authors talk about "intercalation", which happens below freezing. Intercalation is when the anode becomes plated with lithium ions instead of the ions being absorbed into the anode."

I'm really surprised the "balance" is so poor. If the battery has reasonable insulation, how much power would it take to keep it warm - e.g. 50F - for, say 8 hours ? Let's say the outside temp is 0F average. I don't expect anyone to do calculations. But Lee gives an approx metric of 30-40 mile
