AI Customer ServiceThe idea that lead acid batteries are still worthwhile at cold temps was blown out of the water by this study. With so little available power from the lead acids, you would use it up very quickly and it will be difficult to replenish the power since lead acids are so slow to charge, especially when it is cold.
However, a well charged lead acid battery in good condition will not freeze in practical use. But the less charged it is, the more susceptible to freeze damage. Even for a fully charged lead acid battery, there’s still a point of freezing. But those temperatures are extremely cold and you likely will not ever experience that cold (keep reading).
This blog covers lead acid battery charging at low temperatures. A later blog will deal with lithium batteries. Charging lead acid batteries in cold (and indeed hot) weather needs special consideration, primarily due to the fact a higher charge voltage is required at low temperatures and a lower voltage at high temperatures.
This is a good idea. Better safe than sorry, right? However, you can leave a lead acid battery installed during the winter. But only if the battery is in good condition, there is no parasitic load slowly draining the battery, and the battery is fully charged. I keep trickle chargers on mine, just in case.
Lead acids cannot be charged when super cold either, because of the resistance. This nullifies the claimed benefit of lead acid over lithium batteries at cold temps. Even more evidence that lithium is the king of batteries for RV, Marine, or off-grid home systems, even in cold weather.
The cold weather can indeed have a significant impact on battery life. Batteries are made up of chemical reactions, and low temperatures can slow down these reactions, reducing the battery’s ability to generate electrical energy. As a result, cold weather can cause batteries to drain faster and may even lead to permanent damage in extreme cases.
