[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 655383, member: 3775"] Thats why top quality chargers are important, Most Lithium batteries won't charge if the battery temp is below 0*c or above 50*, If the battery is left in sunlight or behind glass they can easily reach 50*c, Dometic say the opperating / Ambiant range of their PLB is between 0*c and 45*c, And other brands are between 0*c and 40*c which I call BS because they work just as well in Vehicles when the Temp inside the vehicle can hit 40, 50, and 60*c+, Another set of figures is with my Noco GB 150 Boost Lithium Jump Pack, Where it's Charging Temps are between 0*c and 40*c YET it's Opperating and storage Temps are Quoted As -20*c up to 50*c for Storage And Opperating Temps, So a lot of these quoted figure vary from company to company and product to product, Here's 3 Products with 3 sets of figures. With such a wide range of figures it is no wonder why people are having batteries go up in flames, when really there should be a global standard for all products because I am sure a GPZ in bright sunlight gets well above 40*c around mid day.
