Heat will not bother the battery but it will drain the power faster- Dry heat is good for most electrical connections Phillips Health Care is a Certified dealer and has a 3 year warranty on parts as well as the Manufacturer Invacare See Specs below The Invacare Lynx L-4 offers the features of the L-3 model with the performance and bold look of a four-wheel scooter.

keep your battery indoors to charge/when not in use. do not set in garage, it gets too hot in the summer my home is never below 60 degrees nor above 85, that is the opitmal tempurature of these Lithium Ion battery packs, the only time to keep them out is when your doing the yardwork as it is usually well above 80(where I like in Oklahoma) in those seasons of course that goes without saying! The tollerance is quite high, but the directions say it is best stored/charged at room tempurature indoors, not in a shed or garge.

This is a question best directed to the manufacturer. However, I would offer that if it is not too cold to prevent regular batteries in a flashlight kept in the garage from working it will probably be all right. I'd also take into consideration where it is placed--certainly not on an outside wall or directly in front of a window or other indirect exposure to the elements.

I life in Texas, we have around 105 degree max weather. If the RV is half way insulated, it would probably.

I think high temperatures would be considered charging it in a very very location like 80+ degrees or charging it in direct sunlight. I would take it as the advice given as NOT to leave one's cellular phone in a hot car. Heat lowers the internal resistance but this stresses the battery.

I live in Austin, TX and use the product in my Motor Home. It is stored in a lower storage compartment in a plastic tub and I have had no problems in six years. In the summer, the road and ambiant temperature can well exceed 100 degrees.

It can be kept anywhere you want, as long as the embiant temperature is not above 140 F. Mine is kept in one of the compartment under my motorhome.

I live in northern NJ, where the winter temps range in the teens to low 20's. The tenders have kept my batteries fines for years. A college buddy lives near Fairbanks Alaska. He keeps his cars on tenders through each winter night to prevent the battery from freezing or going down. In the morning, he disconnects, drives to work, and then attaches again at their special parking lots. They are designed for heater and battery plug-ins.

I leave my battery, weedwacker and charger in the garage year round (upstate ny) and haven't had any problems! Winters are freezing and snowy and today it's 93 and hot and humid! I would imagine wherever you are it should be ok as long as its dry!

This as well as others should work well in the Arizona heat. Ours are indoors, but I have one in my garage inHouston. Temps get in the high90's and it works great. Adjust the " on time" to suit your needs and away you go! William gibson

I'm heating a 3 car insulated garage in Las Vegas. It keeps the garage at 72 degrees on the coldest days.

No. But the fan takes little power and a car battery with an inverter should keep you from freezing.

Hi Elizabeth. I'm using an Exide MC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 (AGM) Marine Battery. Fully charged, this battery can keep the refer at 38 degrees for several days (depending on outside temp). I would not recommend running this off of a car battery/alternator.

I ahve not stored it in my truck, All batteries stand a chance of freezing is letft in sub zero long enough

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.

You probably could but why would you want to? Because the BatteryMinder has some pretty sensitive electronics to monitor the battery charge level and temperature, I would not recommend leaving it attached to the battery when you start the vehical... at least I wouldn't do that.

I am living in Southern California... Recently cam working fine above 100F outside. Dont know what was inside my car but it was deadly hot. It is good question 'cos my GPS do not work very well in this sort of heat.
