Hey everyone...
I have a little set up I Just made up in my garage to store a few of my planes and there transmitters.. my other planes are up in my room at room temperature but I Just simply dont have enough room to keep them all up there (dang addicting hobby! ) But anyways, I have a question about keeping my planes in the garage.... is it possible for flight batteries and transmitter batteries go bad due to being stored in a relatively cold place? I live in North Carolina so it does not get TOOO cold but at night it might get about 35 - 40 degrees... it'll be a little warmer in the garage though due to insulation, etc... but I was just wondering if that is a safe place to keep the planes due to the batteries? and if theres any way this temperature could harm them? THANKS heres a few pictures of my set up

Chevypower, Your fine. Many of us much further north than you, keep gear in unheated workshops all winter long with no ill effects. Some guys in warmer areas like Florida or Arizona put batteries in the fridge during long storage. If you’re not going to fly for a couple months it’s a good idea to unplug the battery from the receiver and transmitter.

Here is a link to an excellent resource for battery care.
