Yes, I've read several other threads about LFP's not being charged below around 32º-35º, but I have further inquiry In our Sprinter build, that would be too big of an issue, because we'll have a diesel heater for the cold nights. Batteries are mounted under the front seat. But for when we aren't in the van, and as a backup, I plan on using some small heating pads to warm the batteries up.
My question is: How warm do the batteries have to be? How do I measure that, is it as simple as having a thermometer on the pack itself? If the heating pad is on the bottom of the battery, but the air around the battery is 20º-30ºF, is that alright?
