[QUOTE="condor22, post: 600597, member: 1932"] I've been prospecting in the VIC winter, the lowest temp being -4 C, but toasty warm in the van with the diesel heater. The battery is also in the van so in the under seat area it will be colder. I checked the monitor as it has a temp sensor and it showed 18 C in the cabinet, (heater set to 22 C). Lithium will still discharge at sub zero temps, where they don't like the cold is charging. One of the reasons in my Engel or van fridge I use AAA lithium in the temp transmitter. Unlike Metal Nickel Hydride or NiCad and even energizers, they last a helluva lot longer. [/QUOTE]
