Is it safe to store it in the trunk of my car in any weather condition? Heat of Summer, cold of winter?

I live in Western north Texas and last summer we had temps reach 118 degrees in the shade and our car is black and had no problems with the slime or the pump. The slime container is not under pressure. No problems this winter as well. Our temp got down to around 8 degrees. Hope this answers your question.

I left it in my car (I live in florida) and it was at least 105°. A week later, I used to put out an engine fire. I think it depends on the duration.

I live in Austin, TX and use the product in my Motor Home. It is stored in a lower storage compartment in a plastic tub and I have had no problems in six years. In the summer, the road and ambiant temperature can well exceed 100 degrees.

No. Not at all. I had mine outside in an average if 70 degree heat and the cover rotted right off my car. I contacted the company and although it says it's fine in mild weather they don't recommend it for outside. Apparently this happens a lot as the customer service person knew exactly what I was talking about. Terrible product.

I am under a carport but traded the car in so never was in a lot of bad weather.

It would be fine to keep it in a air tight bag, no reason to keep in cold. Probably should keep it out of light too.

The food and water according to the survival information says 2 years in normal room temperatures. In the trunk of your car about 1 to 1.5 years.

Technically you can, but I surely would not leave the device in the car when not in use. The swings in temperature may melt the device and/or damage the battery.

We store ours in our car all the time. I am guessing the concern is that it uses a li-ion battery. There is still a concern of getting them too hot and what the will do in an accident.

I store mine in a plastic bag in a cupboard. It's been kept that way from several months with no problems.

Can definitely be stored in the garage or even a closet when not in use. It works best around 80 degrees. When it's 90 or hotter I don't even feel like it makes much of a difference. Still would rather have it than not though.

I keep mine in my car and it gets hot in Louisiana. As well. No problems so far. U may want to check the batteries from time to time for corrosion. Dave

We have had ours for 4 months, taken hiking, traveling, and store it in our trunk where it gets tossed around quite a bit - so far no issues with snagging. We have also machine-washed it, and it still looks like new :)

I would not expect any problem from being in a temperate zone, as long as you do not leave it on the dashboard of a closed, parked car in the sun - - - or something similar.

Offhand, I have had it in my car which generally parks outside and during the summer, which has reached to 90+ degrees at time, I have not had any issues with the product.

Yes that's what we have. Do not leave in car during cold weather.. Made of plastic will break

I have only had the unit a little over a month. I only use it on hot days, therefore I don't think I would be using it during the winter. I store it in my truck cabin when not in use, such as nights and cloudy cool or cold days.
