How do you over come this problem with project outside; when temperatures reach this point or drop even lower?

Interested in hearing winter experiences with Li-ion batteries…

My reading suggests all types of lithium batteries are not rated for use at or below freezing. In these cases you are better off using lead acid batteries.

Hi William.
I don’t have experience with those scenarios.
Here, where we live, we never have below-freezing temperatures.
I’m sorry that I can’t help much with this subject.
Regards,
Sara
