Lipo's & Cold Weather ?

[DrKnow65]

Well, have a definate awnser on this. Before I was running fine above 0*, well last night we ran the cars (lipo&nimh) out in the extreme cold -5* and they both ran about 10min and kicked out. My son has no lvc on his setup (nimh) and the car just slowed like the batts were dead.

Today we plugged them in to charge after sitting in the warm house last night, mine (lipo) only took 1200mah in a 5000mah 3S batt and his came off the charger just as quick.

So, +5*f was fine -5* was definatley not.

As for warming with a hair drier, I would think you'd have to cook it for some time before the center of the pack was warm... You could nuke it in the microwave, just use a friends microwave and video tape it for me ;) JK
