Customer ServiceLead-acid batteries can operate in colder conditions but experience reduced capacity in both hot and cold temperatures. LiFePO4 batteries demonstrate exceptional resilience in high-temperature environments. They can operate effectively at temperatures up to 140°F (60°C) without significant degradation.
Customer ServiceExcessive heat or cold can negatively impact the battery''s performance, reduce its charge acceptance, and even cause permanent damage. Here are the permissible temperature limits for charging commonly used lead acid batteries: – Flooded Lead Acid Batteries: – Charging Temperature Range: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
Customer ServiceAGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are renowned for operating well in cold temperatures due to their unique design. Lithium-ion batteries generally perform better in cold weather than traditional lead-acid batteries. Opting for a battery tailored for cold weather conditions guarantees robust starting power.

Lead acid batteries that lose about 20-30% at the same temperature and typically have a depth of discharge of around 50%. If you work or go off-grid in cold weather or live in an area prone to winter blackouts, having a reliable backup battery is critical to keep your devices running, even in frigid temperatures.
When considering batteries for cold climates, it’s important to understand the different battery chemistries available. Lithium-ion batteries are known for their high energy density and lighter weight, making them suitable for portable devices. However, they may experience suboptimal performance in extremely cold temperatures.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4/LFP) batteries last the longest in cold weather. With greater depth of discharge and a lower self-discharge rate, LiFePO4 batteries only lose about 2% of storage capacity below 32°F (0°C). Lead acid batteries that lose about 20-30% at the same temperature and typically have a depth of discharge of around 50%.
Lithium-ion batteries have gained popularity in recent years due to their high energy density and lightweight design. In cold weather, however, their performance can be affected. Lithium-ion batteries have a reduced capacity and power output when exposed to freezing temperatures.
AGM batteries are a type of lead-acid battery that offers some advantages over traditional flooded lead-acid batteries. In cold weather, AGM batteries perform better than flooded lead-acid batteries due to their sealed design. They have a higher CCA rating and are more resistant to freezing and electrolyte loss.
