Freezing temps

[mrCj]

Hi...I live in NW MN where it gets really cold in the winter. I’d like to leave our Lectrics stored in our un-attached garage. do I have to worry about the LCD display being subjected to cold temps? It gets below zero here a lot. Thanx much...Cj

I assume you're planning on pulling the batteries and keeping those in the house?

Yes

I live in tropical Minnesota. The warmest spot, Winona County. I have had my displays in the subzero garage for 5 years. No issues.

Hi again, Blackhand. I was just reading a couple articles about storing Liion batteries in the freezer. Maybe my garage would double as a “freezer?”

Sure I guess, but who wants to have to thaw out your battery before going for a bike ride?

I'm sure not an expert, but I don't think storing them cold is really a problem but draining or charging them when they are cold isn't good for battery health.

Yikes! That's curious, would you please share the source of those articles, please?
