This is just a conversation starter...
Here in Lancaster, SC the morning temperature was 14°F. This would be considered a fairly rare occurrence for South Carolina.
My 24V LiFePO4 battery bank is in an off grid, insulated but unheated metal building (workshop). The temp inside was 36°F which triggered the 2°C (35.6°F) low temp cutoff parameter on my Overkill Solar 8S BMS. Nice to see the BMS accurate within .4°F of it's low temp cutoff parameter threshold.
Curious to know how the frigid conditions in the lower 48 this week are effecting others, regarding their LiFePO4 battery charging.
It may be time to consider a heated or at least insulated battery wrap. I've lived in NH, and am no stranger to cold, but was not equipped with a solar system at the time.
Happy Holidays to all!
