Is it better to invest in a battery thermal wrap, or a warming pad you place on the engine? Winter temps about 10-20 deg with lows of -10 sometimes.

I use on all of my vehicles,( -10° to -40° temps )these: battery wrap, water hose warmer (warm heater air right away), oil pan warmer (magnetic)(crank over right away). I have both gas and diesel vehicles. So it just depends on what u want/need. Warming pad warms top of engine so probably works on battery and some on radiator and water in top of block area, doubt oil (bottom of engine)

I bought this battery wrap because our temperatures really get cold, sometimes in the minus. It works well and I also have a electric connection for heating the oil pan which was factory installed on my 2001 Ford Crown Vic. My car is in a unheated garage all winter which I don't drive unless the roads are bare. Don't know if a warming pad would be better.

buy both if your engine to last. Cold starts are really hard on it. I did both and then I bought a thermal switch that turns on at 40 degrees, to turn both heaters on.

Place the silver towards the hot side. In my engine you had to tape the blanket down or use some type of heat resistant fastener.

I live in a very cold place, this type (lipo) of battery heats up when in use, but leave out in cold without using will probably ruin them.

I've had mine for one winter and two summers now. I believe their recommendation is to leave the batteries unplugged, but to charge them up once or twice during the winter. I stored mine in an unheated garage, but I doubt it got below freezing in there. My advice is to take the batteries into the house if you have concerns over the winter. I haven't noticed any degradation in power or longevity in mine. Hope it helps.

As. I wrote before we loved this product. We also have an rv, my husband was wondering about the cold temps in the winter. If that could affect it or not.

No. I was originally going to run the factory shroud around it bit have found it unnecessary and I live in southern Nevada. Temps have been very consistent even when I'm offroad in low range working the engine hard. I don't thonk you'll have to worry about it.

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

I have this heating pad attached to the oil pan on my car and it does help warm the oil for those cold starts when it's below 0 here in Minnesota.I don't have any way to measure the temp but something is better than nothing.You do not want to plug it in by itself because it will burn up. The heating element turns glowing hot if not attached to something.

We have an 06. Live in Florida so it's not "real" cold but I did notice that when it was cool the old ones were even worse. The new ones made it through this winter with no complaints. These should do the trick for you!

Double A Batteries (4 of them for the 2.4Ghz remote and 4 for the receiver pack in the car) and Nitro fuel (20 to 33%). Traxxas brand fuel is good, and if you buy 20%, I think it's easier to tune the engine. If it's below 50 degrees outside, then have your son wait until it's warmer to break it in. Just my opinion.

Depends on the motor u have and as long as there hooked in a parellel witch is positive to positive and neutral to neutral my self I just got a bigger battery I us this one to do my hot laps and just warm the car up I would get a bigger c rated battery cause 20c is nice but to get the best speed use a higher c

0 to 60 degrees f. It depends on temp outside. It will stay on with vehicle off and will shut down before draining battery.

Your phone shouldn't get that hot unless there's a problem with the battery... as long as the battery life itself is okay, if you can put up with the warm phone I don't think you necessarily need the extra battery. My factory battery gets very warm as well and it seemed to be affecting the battery life, so I bought this product. I've been using these batteries instead of my factory battery.

We will see how durable they are after this winter of wind, snow and sleet. A smart move is to waterproof tape the seams of the sensor so no moisture can invade the interior. Use the best 9 volt battery you can get, the longer the distance, the faster they expire.The transmitter is not made to go outside, but you can try to water proof it and its adaptor.

Battery power is not recommended as it can only last for about an hour. I plug it directly to wall, in the car, or use a separate USB battery. My 20A battery can last about 3 to 4 hours. It takes a few min to get hot (haven't time it). It is not as hot as other heat wrap but if you wear it outside underwear but inside outerwear, it is about right. My other wrap has a setting that gets too hot but lower setting is not enough.

Use any good grade automotive 10W-30 for summer use. In the winterime, with cold temperatures, use 5W-20. That's what I use. I switch to 5W-20, when the weather remains below freezing and down into sub-zero weather.
