I would consider taking a charge (or not) part of a batteries “performance”. If it won’t take a charge from my solar when it is cold outside, then to me that is part of the battery’s “performance”, or lack there of. My RVs battery compartment is not heated, so if I just took out my golf cart lead acid batteries and put in the lithium, and went camping in the cold, it would be a bad deal.

I camp all winter in my rv in Massachusetts but I use a diesel heater. Why would people go out camping and have their lithium batteries in an area that is not heated I wonder

Great question...I wouldn't. However, think about the recent cold front that blanketed most of the US. It caught a LOT of RV'ers off guard and I'm sure their batteries took some damage.

Oh ok I didn't think of that. So is there permanent damage done to lithium batteries as well as lead acid from spending time in the very cold? I assumed they would recover after being warmed

A lot of RVs have unheated battery compartments, that is why. Good reason not to switch to lithium too if planning on camping in the cold with one of those RVs.

@@travisevans2549 What is your point? Both AGM and Lithium stop charging in sub-freezing conditions. Lithium however will still allow you to USE the power you have in them...where AGM won't. That was the entire point of this video. Did you watch the entire video? Now,...if you're camping where you battery compartment is not heated and it stays below 32 your entire trip, you need to either find a way to heat the area or install a battery heating blanket or buy a battery with built in heater.
