Can these batteries withstand recurrent cold/freezing temperatures?

they're just like other lead-acid batteries and will lose their charge quicker in the cold and also sustain damage. i suggest you find a warmer indoor place for your battery. if you're using it at a ski chalet you can either hook a heater up to keep it warm when you're not there, or just transport it around with you. remember tho it's quite heavy

These batteries are jell cells, they contain no liquids. They are built on the same principle as the batteries used on electric cars. We have twenty of these batteries on our solar system here in Ohio. Last winter we have had some days that were 20 below zero. The system only lost about 5% of there daily charge without using a battery heating system. We also resell these batteries to our solar customers. I would answer your Question Yes

We had a mild winter here in NW Wisconsin, but my camera worked fine. We were down to 0 degrees with no problems and the same batteries were in it all winter.

Don't know how the batteries will hold up in your winters. I have had my lights and have only changes the batteries once. It is in the weather year-round, from 100 plus degree Northeast Texas heat to temps in the low twenties last winter.

I cannot say for temps under 35 degrees. I also keep the batteries in the back of a vehicle. I have never had an issue.

I have used these - and others from Radio Shack - with about equal runtime results in freezer circulating fans. None are very long-lived at cold/subzero temperatures.

Depends on what you mean by cold. We have had some 15-20 degree lows here where I hunt this season. It didn't seem to affect it's performance. If you run alkaline batteries like I am, you will experience a significantly reduced battery life below freezing. However, that's par for the course with all cams.

Defective Battery. I store mine in the house all winter. Over-exposure to the cold can deplete even an ION/Lithium cell faster than normal. Had it about three years, has enough charge to get my mid-sized lot/yard done. I recommend having a second battery if you can afford one anyhow, so both are ready to go if one dies out, the job can be finished. Still cheaper than using Gas, just as effective, if not more. Plus, if you can manage to get a solar charger, the possibilities are endless.

As other respondents have noted, Without getting too technical rechargeable batteries have a unspecified amount of parasitic loss depending on battery chemistry type and overall capacity.In this case the extremely large capacity of this battery will allow it store a sizable amount of energy even after a period as long as 6 months. Keep in mind that batteries like a room temperature 74 degrees Fahrenheit plus or minus a few degrees . So try and keep them in a nice cool area with plenty of fresh moving air and a very low humidity

I really don't know but the manufacturer may be able to help. The other problem is the batteries are charged by sunlight and while I have never had a problem you might during the winter. I really like mine it has worked flawlessly since I installed it.

We purchased one of these lights last year for a vacation home in central wisconsin.When we went back to the house this year it was working just fine and i know they had some very cold weather this past winter.no battery problems at all.we havent changed them yet

Any lithium ion battery, will not do well in below zero temps, the solar panel should work just fine, however i would suspect your battery and it's microchip would fall if out in that temperature for too long. although most of the unit is sealed very well the base of the unit has the battery compartment and the switch which are only weatherproof and I would not suspect to be very temperature proof.

Yes they can be left out in cold winter months and the rain too. The battery's are rechargeable!

Can't speak for MI as I live in CO but it gets pretty cold here and batteries seem to last about 3-4 months in winter and longer in other quarters so I end up changing them twice a year on average.

This type of battery does not take freezing. If the battery froze, it will not keep a charge.

This has more to do with your batteies than the LED light. Alkaline batteries perform very poorly when they are below freezing. If you use rechargeable NiMH batteries then the light can operate down to -20C or even lower. I know this becasue I have this light powered byTenergy Centura rechargeable C cells in my (unheated) garage. During last winter the outdoor temperature can drop to 0F (-18C) at night, and the light still works.

I bought these before I went to Churchill CA where it was cold all the time. I had my camera on continuous shots and each battery lasted about 1 to 1 1/2 days, the same amount of time the original Canon battery lasted.

Since we have owned it the temps have varied from 100 to -19... Worked perectly still on my first set of batteries also.
