Ebike Lithium Batteries

[OldFart]

Curious about how lithium batteries on Ebikes work in cold weather? Both for charging and performance? Thanks

I don't have experience with ebike batteries but my boat batteries are lithium and they have no problem in the dead of winter working properly. Now for charging, you need to bring them inside somewhere to charge them. Once it gets freezing outside I do not charge them out in the cold. It will permanently mess up a lithium battery if charged in freezing cold weather. Just bring inside and charge in the house and you'll have no problem

Nobody around here uses Lithium batteries on their Ebikes/Etrikes??

M2S told me to avoid leaving the battery in places where it could be exposed to extreme cold.

My ebike is used mainly for hunting in the fall so it isn't exposed to extreme cold. I always charge it in my garage, away from other flammable objects and a foil blanket covering it. I've had first hand experience with batteries overheating or burning in my rc planes.
