How to Protect Your Batteries in Winter

Well, I didn’t know that.

I knew lithium was more sensitive to cold n would drain quicker, even if not used.

I didn’t know, turning g a phone back on when the cold has “frozen it” or just drained it, would damage the battery.

Living in South West England, it’s rarely freezing, let alone colder than about -4 C° (and that’s more wind chill than actual temp).

@AnkerTechnical , is this due to that email I sent you recently?

This is interesting I knew phones were sensitive to low temps (and high) but I never realized just how sensitive they were. That is until the other day my brother’s phone shutoff at about 30F even though it was charging through his drones controller. And now I read this. You rarely think of the chemistry in your phones more just the software and hardware.

Fortunately we’re getting face unlock

But you may look a little different.

leave the phone in your pocket

Yes, I think so. I realized this in one winter, when I tried to charge my Macbook. I left it in the cold bedroom table charging, for a whole day and went out, but came home later finding that the laptop is not even charged at all. I was afraid that it might be faulty. Then I searched the internet, and found that many people encounter this in the winter.

So I put the Macbook on my bed and turned on the air conditioner, it started to charge fast as normal!

We’ve had a few questions about the charging problem in winter, so we decided to explain it a bit here in the forum. Thank you for all the valuable suggestions! :grin:

But the question is if you really want to be outside by -24 degree or not just stay somewhere, where it is warm.

I have no choice, gotta work . Cold or not bills don’t pay themselves

Great information!

That’s why this is my favorite winter position:
