My furnace would be running 24/7. * This post was edited 12/27/21 02:05pm by 2oldman * Old Days • View posts Colorado Senior Member Joined: 12/04/2013 View Profile Offline Posted: 12/27/21 11:46am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator You could use a battery wrap heater on a car battery in that kind of weather. I wouldn't be getting lithium battery's either, we do cold camping here in Colorado and my battery's stay on the camper tongue of the trailer year round. 3 tons • View posts NV.

I couldn't replace my truck camper battery with a Lifepo4 unless I moved it inside or put heat to it...The going price for a cheap 100ah lifepo4 battery on Amazon is $319 with a couple just under 300...

Here in Calgary it was minus 34 and the wind chill was minus 47. We had to go out to run a few errands, I zipped up my sweater for the occasion! Still wore my runners though. I'll wait for it to get cold to put my boots on.

It will be a good torture test for the SiO2 battery on the generator. I can heat 100% electrically at -37. Not so sure about -40 though. * This post was edited 12/27/21 03:22pm by pianotuna * Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Page  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 12   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > this is why
