I think cold weather charging should be talked about in thisdiscussion. It is my understanding that LiFePO4 can be damaged if theyare charged below 32 F. An electrak in an unheated garage shouldprobably have a battery heater of some sort if it is going to be usedfor snow removal. If it is recharged right after use the cells may bewarm enough to not do damage. It is something to consider.
