Can this withstand being placed in the engine compartment ???(heat factor)

HI Edward, I have 3 of these batteries in a high school marching band trailer (big semi trailer). We use them to power LED lights inside and outside the trailer (and have a solar panel to charge them). They sit about 12 feet off the ground, up high inside the trailer, which gets very hot inside during the day. We are in Texas, where it gets very hot during the summer. We've had the batteries (3 of them) about a year now, and no issues so far!! Let me know if you have other questions, I'm very happy with these batteries so far!! Brent Jensen bjensen@us.ibm.com

I don't think this can resist such high temperatures... I have never tried..

We store ours in our car all the time. I am guessing the concern is that it uses a li-ion battery. There is still a concern of getting them too hot and what the will do in an accident.

Yes mine also got really hot. The engine had a non-related issue and is not running now but I assume it will still get hot.

Probably, but only buy this if your looking for storing in a heated garage. My car molded in 1 month because this cover let's moisture in but not out.

I've used it to pull transmission fluid from a warm bike engine. Im unsure of the temp, but it held up fine. The engine was too hot to touch though. If you're planning on using it for food safe items, I probably wouldn't recommend temperatures that high. The plastic taste/smell may seep into the liquid.

If you mean would the heat damage it, I doubt it. However I always hide mine in the glove compartment to deter thieves. Because of the detachable magnetic mount it's easy to leave the suction cup attached to the window but remove the actual unit.

I used it in the trunk of a 2002 BMW 530. Rattling and vibration was SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. During application there wasn't a smell and even during this 100 degree heat, I haven't noticed any smell either and I frequently open and close my trunk. My only complaint was that the applicator broke but I just used my hands anyway. I am not too sure about the heat transfer though.

I have not tried that, but you may not leave it in the car if the temperature is too high. The external materials may support high temperatures but not sure about the battery and other internal components

I sprayed the outside of exhaust pipe on car, no issues whatsoever, and obviously exhaust pipe gets quite hot. I cannot confirm that the spray would withstand the heat from a wood burning stove, but I believe it should be able to.

Yes to a small degree . But remember this is supplemental air cooling , so high ambient air temperatures significantly reduces the cooling effect . The other cool effect is how cool this sucker looks on your ride. I bought an extra element so at oil change time i just swap them out , and drop the other in a solvent bath . Of course ... The faster you go , the more air passes over it the more cooling you get . SO LET ER' RIP . LOL Ride hard , be safe . No substitute for skills , and common sense .,

i dont see why this amp would overheat there, i know plenty of people who install amps under the seat. plus, this is smaller than most other amps, so that seems liek it would allow even more airflow around it than other amps. mine is in an enclosed area behind a panel on the side of my boot in my mini cooper, and i live in arizona. i have never had any issues.

I really can't answer a car question but as for heating duct use it can withstand the high heat from the ducts. It really sticks well so you may want to give it a try.

If you need it 'cool' rather than maintained at a specific temperature, you'll be fine. If worried, add a small pack of dry ice. As a matter of interest though, I find that checking this sort of thing into the hold is better as the cabin is warmed while the hold is colder in my experience. Also your clothes are added insulation!

Greetings! I use it on my motorcycle so i put it closer to my engine so i could get a better idea how hot it is getting. Not sure what your using it on but the lead for the outside senor should be long enough to thread it through the firewall on a car to mount it outside. I attached mine with double sided tape and it has stayed put nicely. I'm very happy with mine. No problems for 4 years.

outdoors with engine running.. I doubt it.. I'd also guess the vibration and the like might break it

Try not to let it touch anything that will melt it, and you could put the box inside your engine in the very back,
