Cold Weather Charging issues
My Roy Pow 105ah wouldn't charge last week here in Michigan during a cold swing in the weather. I pulled my on board charger and had it checked. It ended up being fine.
I talked to the place that sold me the battery and they said they are still learning a lot about these new lithium batteries. Apparently, the Roy Pow's may not charge at or below 34°.
He said his customers are having more issues with the Eco battery line not charging at or below 43°.
I put my cart in the garage and let it warm up. Problem solved!
This is the first I've heard of cold weather charging with the Lithium's but I still would never go back to the old lead acid.
