Can someone give the manufacturing specifications of the item? What type of battery / mAh rating if relevant, etc. . .(?) Cold weather performance?

As far as cold weather performance, I'm now disappointed. I tested it today with both the car and the just-charged powerall cold, at -15°C (5F). It doesn't work. But there could be something wrong with mine and maybe it's not fully charged. While charging, it stayed at the 3-led level for 4 hrs. So I dis/reconnected charger, and suddenly it goes to 5 leds and stops. Something's weird.

Given this product is quite new and its size/energy density, I'm guessing this is a LiFePO4 battery. Google/wiki it for more info, they seem like the better alternatives to vehicle lead-acid batteries.

the wires that come with it that you hook up to car battery will melt after a few seconds. dont forget to disconnect one battery terminal before jumping. id say that is a hell of a punch, so who cares what the spec s are. it started my semi diesel engine in about 3 seconds. first i unhooked both 1200 cold cranking amp batterys. kick ass wow.

not sure about that, I used it twice though on a lawn mower and a truck. didn't any problems with it.

Charles, I have not yet used my product. There has just been too much snow outdoors. I will wait until late Spring before I give it a try. In answer to your question about batteries, I would suggest not to use a rechargeable. Use a regular alkaline battery instead. It has something to do with the electrical discharge.

I use it for portable. It uses 5.6 KW so it does use a lot of power in real cold weather.

Sorry we haven't used it enough to know. We got it for outside use and the weather has been bad since we got it. However, it has been sitting in a cold garage for several weeks and I went to charge it up and the charge was almost full even though it has been sitting in a very cold garage. Hope someone else can give you a better answer.

12V/20V only. Worth it though. Makes working in the extreme cold comfortable.

I looked on the battery and there is no information. I don't seem to have the literature that came with it. Sorry.

We bring it in every time, but it would be fine in the cold if you remove the battery. It isn't good for in the snow, but works fine if parking lots have been plowed well.

Not sure!! Im about to get another Battery!! mines is starting to Die all ready, Can't say that there Bad Battery's But im gonna get one with More Power!!! the battery is still working for me But when the weather is cold the Battery looses Power!!! So gonna have to get a new one Winter is about to be here!! I may get another one but with more Amps 14 Amps is what im looking for!!

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

don't know but it's a great battery with very little maintenance required. Fires up right away even after a winter slumber. Other batteries would be dead if not maintained during the winter.

I have the same problem too. I also noticed that the battery drains faster due to cold weather. Maybe try using the outdoor covers they offer.

My experience is with leaves. Device does not work well with heavy leaf piles or large areas. Battery drains in about 10 to 15 minutes on high speed. I do not know how that would compare with snow. Light snow on a small area like windows might be okay.

Not totally sure about that. What I do know is lithium batteries do last longer in cold areas. And who fishes in -5 deg weather anyway!!!???? :)

It has worked fine in the cold and I'm in North Idaho. Battery life is reduced, but that would be the case for anything that uses batteries. As far as water resistance goes, I've tried to keep it sheltered so I can't tell you.

I'm guessing battery life would be dependent on adverse weather it's subjected to. If using within a garage where cold temperatures could creep in, I'd guess much lower than 3 years, maybe less than a year. But who knows. I'd imagine, though, that it shouldn't be so short that it's a hindrance.

Battery wll work if you use the ATV in warm weather. Loses performance in cold weather.

Hi, I used it last hunting season and the temp was -20degC. It did work but I noticed I had to change the battery every couple of days. I did take lots of precautions too like not leaving it in the truck over night.
