Default COLD STORAGE OF LIPO BATTERIES ??

This will be my first winter to store my lipo batteries. I have discharged them all and recharged to the 50% reccomended for storage. Here's my question I do not want to store them in my house ( obvious reasons ) and every other place ( garage, shed, etc. ) is unheated. Will temps as low as -10 F hurt these batteries ? If so what do you reccomend ?

Default RE: COLD STORAGE OF LIPO BATTERIES ??

Don, I've kept mine in the garage for the last couple of years. Only time it sees heat in the winter is if I'm out there.

I keep em in one of those briefcase style safes, piece of foam approx 1/2" thick under and over them to cushion em. Not had a problem.

Bought the the safe at Wally World for something like $20.00.
