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.
