Ambient Temperature Implications on Batteries
1.
Battery range decreases as ambient temperature decreases. This
can affect the range by
up to 30%.
2.
Batteries discharge when left uncharged. They can discharge up
to 13% per month
(higher rates in warmer climates) with the key off and much faster
if the key is left on.
3.
Batteries can freeze if left uncharged at low ambient
temperatures.

Approximate Freezing Point: (-51° C)
