Cold and Hot Weather - Lithium Battery Tips for Australian Touring

Intro
Temperature affects charging and performance. LiFePO4 shines in Aussie conditions with a few simple precautions.

Cold Weather

• Many LiFePO4 batteries limit or prevent charging at low temperatures - follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
• Store and charge in insulated spaces where possible.
• If your system includes a low-temperature charge cut-off, ensure it is enabled.

Hot Weather

• Provide ventilation around chargers, inverters and batteries.
• Avoid enclosed compartments that trap heat.
• Expect slightly higher daily energy use from fridges and fans - plan solar accordingly.

General Care

• Avoid prolonged storage at 100% state of charge unless recommended.
• If storing for long periods, follow the manufacturer’s storage voltage guidance.
• Keep connections clean and tight to reduce heat at terminals.

Bottom line
Manage extremes with ventilation and correct charge settings. Your lithium system will run reliably across Australian seasons.
