SERIES/PARALLEL cycle batteries is 0ºF to 120ºF(-18ºC to 49ºC). The recommended operating temperature range for US Battery AGMs is -4ºF to 122ºF (-20ºC to 50ºC). Temperature plays a major role in battery usage. Hot batteries will deliver more capacity, but with diminished cycle life. Cold batteries deliver less capacity and are harder to charge. -
