What is the temperature range? Can I store it in my car in the midwest (cold winters and hot summers) and still expect it to be accurate?

The operational temperature of the S80 Pro is 32-100 degrees F--so please do not store it in your car when it is extremely hot or cold. Doing that could damage the sensor or require more frequent calibration.

Really depends on the outside temperature but in a car it is like a fridge and in 90-95 temps it stays pretty cool. I will check temp next time to see.

SPEC'S: Avoid temperatures below -10C (14F) or above 60C (140F). However, I tried it in my great cold City of Chicago last week when it was below 0, and it worked......barely.

Well, the owner's manual warns only against leaving the unit in the car for very long because if it's too hot, like here in Arizona, that could harm it internally. I place it on the dashboard of my truck when driving and it works just fine. As far as cold weather, I haven't had to deal with that. I hope that helps you.Tony from Arizony

I have mine working fine at 5F, here in the Pacific Northwest doesn't get as cold as the Midwest.

Keeps stuff 10 to 15 degrees colder than the temperature of the space it is in. I use mine daily inside an air conditioned car. My water, fruit, soda, etc. stay about 50 degrees.....but that's with my car a/c temp set pretty low. No thermastat on it. I'm just super happy about not having to get fresh ice every morning; and not having everything floating in water every afternoon!

If you keep it inside and don't subject it to temperature changes, it is very accurate. If you bring it in from a cold garage and start weighing bullets for an hour it will warm up and loose calibration.

it gets hot just by running it after a while, thats what the metal heat dispensers are for. But i think if you leave it all day in a car, where temperatures can reach 110 120 degrees, in direct light from the sun, it would do some damage to it, as much as any electronic device for that matter. But if you mean just leaving it in the glove box or another compartment, it should be fine, as long as it isnt getting hit directly by the sun, its pretty small and portable. If you plan to record and leave it there, you can cover it with something if thats the case.

I have used my Luggie in cooler weather, ie 2-3 degrees centigrade and found it to be no problem. Of course it depends where you live, as to what you consider to be cold weather! The battery seems to be slightly weaker when cool, but I have used it straight from the back of my car, and no problem, but I would consider the range of travel to be less when cooler.

My friend who bought says it hooks up to their motor home fine. He has never used it in extreme temperatures but does store it in a heated area that is in a frigid Midwest state.

I have not had this camera long enough to know how temperature resistant this camera is to warmer temperature. I live in the US, and right now it is winter. I can say in temperatures that are just below freezing sometimes the camera thinks it loses it's GPS signal. Shortly after that it read or write to the SD card. It then shouts at you because it loses it's sound volume settings saying the GPS signal is gone and it has SD card errors. I usually just wait a few minutes for the car to warm up before plugging it into power. Other than that I do not have any temperature problems. Or any other problems for that matter. Just below freezing temperatures. But once you get used to the camera it's not really a problem.

It would be fine to store this in a cold car, as long as you keep it fully charged. It may self-discharge a little faster in cold weather, so check the charge once a week. Inside it is an Advanced Glass Mat (AGM) lead-acid battery, like an Optima battery.

I would say 32-150f? Basically just calibrate it at the same temperature you will be using it at. I like this unit a lot.

The thermometer measures in degrees Fahrenheit. Each mark on the circle is 2 degrees, but there is enough space that I feel comfortable enough reading it to an accuracy of 1 degree. The unit's overall accuracy to "official" temperatures is within a degree. At very cold temperatures (below freezing), it seems to read about a degree higher than official/digital temperatures, but I honestly think that's because there is some small amount of heat leaving the house to cause it to read a little higher. I do not notice it to read cooler than actual during summer time. Honestly, I really like this and I'm seriously thinking of getting another to put outside my bedroom window.

I can not answer the question as I live in Austin, TX. My unit is installed inside the home that has an annual temperature variation from 68 degrees in the winter to 80 degrees in the summer. The unit has functioned flawlessly since I installed it. I am very happy with the unit. My original unit lasted 12 years plus.

The ownership manual says that it will work accurately above 14 degrees Fahrenheit, but to make sure you have fresh batteries anytime the temp is below 32. The manual also says the batteries are good for about 4000 distance measurements (maybe 5000, I forget), and there is a battery meter in the viewfinder.

While I can't directly answer the operating temperature range, I can say that I have mine mounted in the dash, and it's weathered a 110 degree summer and below 0 winter. Almost a year in and it's still working like a charm.
