22.1 NOTES AND WARNINGS ON VPL BATTERY FUNCTION AND EXTREME TEMPERATURES Batteries are negatively affected by extreme hot, or cold, temperatures and such temperatures can permanently damage batteries even if such extreme temperatures linger only momentarily. A low state of charge is the main culprit in cold weather battery damage and reduced functionality. Remember, the lower the state of charge, the lower the electrolyte level, the more likely a battery is to be damaged by cold weather.
