Ordering LiPo’s in winter 🥶

[6mm Lapua]

So I ordered some CNHL LiPo’s and it’s about -10deg F here, will that damage or have ill effects on my new batteries?

mine seem to run fine in winter

Should be fine. I’d keep the at room temperature for a while though if they are really cold when you get them.
Expect lower runtimes when it’s cold.

Ya I wasn’t planning on running them anytime soon, just wondering if being exposed to-10 deg would damage the cells or degrade future use and performance.

If your not needing them to run at this time...

Why not just wait a week to order them?

Keep them above 40F until running. Definitely don’t let them sit discharged and get cold, room temp and storage ASAP.

+1 I agree, I'd just wait to order so it's not a question.

I didn’t think of it till after I ordered, too late now

I've never had the cold damage a lipo. I've got one I run in some stupid temps. But that is a running temp vs sitting in the cold a long while.

That's definitely something I'd do and then question. Hate when that happens.

Do NOT store them in the cold, otherwise, they’re fine to run.
