Yes I leave them out all winter. They will not stay on as long as the sun will not charge them to full capacity .

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

I'm not sure I can answer that. I think they may still light up but the lamp housing is plastic, so there may be cracking??

I leave ours out all year long. Just have to change the batteries once in awhile.

It snows a bit here where I live and we leave ours up all year. Just make sure that you winterize yours with the proper chemicals, before covering for the winter. It makes life a lot easier come spring time.

I think they can be left off. I have them on mine but, they are not necessary. All I would have to do is unscrew and pull off.

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

As long as your temp doesn't drop below zero very much or for very long they will keep. Once they are tall and thick bunches it will be harder to kill. After last winter I'd say no, but most winters(I'm in VA) aren't too bad.

You shouldn't have to as long as wherever you keep them isn't too warm. I Keep mine in a cabinet in the kitchen that's away from the stove.

Yes, if you are in the warmer zones that don't hard freeze. If you are in zones that hard freeze you need to move it inside in the winter months.

Hello Robert, I'm not sure about these li-ion batteries they are relatively new. However, since they are used extensively by e-car manufacturers, who sell to customers in all climates, I'd say they are okay to leave in your garage during the cold months. Another thought would be to just bring them in the house since they are so small (?) Good question tho, most of us have probably not thought of this.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. I just wouldn't leave them frozen for an extended period. I love these for many different uses.

I am in Texas the northern part where the winters are really cold, and so far I have done well with these little ones. Maybe you would like to put them in a window instead of in the yard. They really are keepers. Margaret

Yes, you could leave them off. I remember having to put them on during assembly.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

I've never had them for years without using them. But as long as there are no extremes in temperature (freezing to hot to freezing, over the year) they might be ok.

Yes I put a weeks worth in the fridge at a time so they are nice and cold. Just don't freeze them is the only storage caution.

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.

I would think you could...but I would pack the in an upright position, but that is is me and I might consider dry ice, I believe it is colder. It would also depend on the temp outside and will you be able to put them in a freeze when you arrive, before serving them.
