This is the only company I know of that has dealt with the low temperature charging issue.  Its a great product, and the blue tooth monitoring is an excellent feature too.  This is what the other Li+ batteries should be doing.  The big down side is they are currently limited to 12v.  Wish they

My personal opinion is that you should not buy any lithium battery that does not provide adequate protection for all modes of operation. Freezing does not damage the battery; charging a frozen battery may damage it quickly. Trickle charging the battery is not the solution. There are two

I doubt you will do any good with trickle charging at cold temps. LFP is too efficient and there is litlle self heating, so this will not work. Probably need to use LA or roll the dice. An expensive mistake if you lose. Even heating pads need a fossile fuel source in cold country with LFP

Folks, If I have a charger that does not have low battery charge cut-off, I can get in trouble if I have a frozen pack and apply a charging voltage. But, if I start with a pack that is above freezing and keep a trickle charge on it, can I keep that pack safe from freezing and damage? Or at
