I live in California normaly warm but has been 23 and they still work. I am not positive but high heat I would think would be more concern.

As any other battery, in temps around freezing, there output will be weaker. But Li-ion batteries do perform better than others (NiCd, NiMH), in cold conditions. Charging is a different story! Don't charge them in or near freezing conditions, that might cause battery damage (others have reported this). You should charge them at home and bring the charged batteries with you to work. Me personally, I never let my batteries sit in freezing conditions, for extended periods of time. So in the Winter time, you should bring in all of your batteries, to the warmth of your home, every night, and then charge the ones that need charging, inside, to avoid any possible damage.Thats the best I can do, hope it helps.

I cannot say for temps under 35 degrees. I also keep the batteries in the back of a vehicle. I have never had an issue.

I live in Calif. so I don't have extreme cold. Heat is more of a worry when combined with anything electronic.

Nothing, the charger has an automatic shut off. They don't even get warm. Well , I should say the charger goes into trickle charge mode. But it will not damage charger batteries.

I keep my bike in an unheated garage, but then I live in the high desert..elevation around 4000 feet. I haven't used the charger during the coldest part of our year yet...that's coming around the corner. Right now our night temps are around 40 to 50....not too bad...and the charger works like a champ. The true test will be late Dec to late Feb. I'll be able to answer your question after I've had the charger for a season.

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D; as a warranty issue.

All of the batteries are still connected and installed in the various vehicles. I've been using it for about two months in fairly cold weather without any issues. Works as stated--so far, so good.

Well, most of the time high temperatures means way up in the 100s degree, I don't think anybody uses that battery charger in those hot temperatures, and the only reason they say that is because heat decreases the battery life, you are not gonna use that in high temperatures are you?

Don't know for sure as I bring mine in. Shouldn't hurt it other than the charging time will be less due to shorter daylight and charging itself may be affected by the cold. You will see less on time.

We have not, But I can tell you this. If you leave any battery in a cold garage, it will not work, My wife has three scooters. And we always bring them in the house after we use them. And charge them. We love our Luggie, Best scooter of the three. Hope you have better luck, They do have a docking station for the battery, You can leave in your house, Just remove the Battery from the scooter when you come home.

I'm not a seller. I just bought these for my Montana van and haven't installed them yes as the weather here in NY State is fridged.

I bought these in Feb. 2014. Live in Colorado and it does get cold here. To date no problem with them working in the cold. I am very happy with this purchase.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

So far I haven't had an issue with the cold. I like in northern North Dakota and it's worked great so far. Battery life is a bit shorter but I get the rechargeable batteries

I have had mine for over a year and it has worked perfectly. I live in Texas so very few really cold days but I have no complaint. I agree with the twisting in the plug thing, I have to make sure I connect well but there is a light indicator.

I have these battery for a few years, it is great, with the purchase got the charger with the adapters. I take long vacations and with two of these battery I have no problem. I found that the regular in cold weather they discharge and after a few pictures you need to change the regular baterries. I hope tis is helpful.

I've had mine about 40 days. Everything is working fine, better than expected actually. Have charged both batteries twice with no issues. As stated earlier, the charger does get warm. Probably warm enough to 'burn off' dust if it has any. As an HVAC mechanic, I generally get calls in the fall for dust getting burned off ( particularly in gas units), and people think their house is on fire. Can't guarantee that's what you're experiencing, but that would be my first guess. If in doubt, send it back

With all due respect, it's more a question of: "Will the batteries survive the temperatures. If the car is in a garage there's a good chance of success. If it's outside all the time I wouldn't want to depend on working batteries or flashlight. I would call the manufacturer of the batteries you intend to use and ask them. They can be much more specific.
