I have a typical “power station” type battery/inverter and “power supply” made by EcoFlow, but this applies to Jackery types or others, too. Do people use a heated blanket, battery blanket or just build an insulated case for winter time?
Inside the EcoFlow there’s a battery and my understanding is that battery performance degrades if battery is allowed to get too cold in the truck bed.
Good idea…I might cut away parts of a soft ice chest, too so that display can be seen & to allow for at least some ventilation for the power station. In this way I could keep EcoFlow completely enclosed, which should hold heat in but will permit reading the digital display and allowing for some cooling. Thanks!
Not sure how much performance actually degrades (I’m sure some) but I understand the major concern is not charging when the battery is below freezing. I’ve been warned that can actually damage the battery instead of just delivering less amphrs.
Bought the waterproof bag; seems like a good solution because it has window for viewing the display plus openings for inputs/outputs. Thanks to all…think this will fit tighter and work better than some other options.
most lithium batteries with BMS will shut down the charging algorithm when the battery temp drops below its preset limits. on my battle born that is 40 degrees
