Hiya, just set up my solar system, about to start boxing in and wondering what I should do thinking ahead to winter. Currently my battery (100AH lithium) is outside, in a insulated box, but it's only 25mm of celotex and some ply. I'm hoping to generate a bit during the winter and continue to use my new set up, I'm only running 12v lighting. But I've read online batteries shouldn't be charged below zero degrees. Presumably as my insulated box isn't heated and my battery won't produce any heat then this is a big no when the temp drops below zero. Is their a practical solution, like a very low wattage heat mat, or should I be trying to get my batteries inside the house?
Thanks guys![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
