Cold weather question

[Canuck9000]

I own an uncorked 75D. Today it was 50deg outside (SOC 60%)... and I noticed on powertools that I was only maxing at 315kw (normally 345-355). I've done research that states to expect reduced range.....but also power? Thanks in advance!

Typically, a cold battery won’t give the same amount of current as a warm one. That’s why the P100DL needs to warm the battery for max power.

Any way to warm a battery on a 75D? Tx

Recent charge is the best hot battery and Max voltage!

Always keep it plugged in at home.

There is also a warmer on the battery pac. Not sure how long it take to properly "warm" the pac .. but manual says it there.

Supercharge it, or drive it hard for a bit. When it gets really cold though, it may take a long time to get to full power no matter what you do. If you car was plugged and garaged prior to starting your drive, you start with a much warmer battery than if the car was parked outside in cold weather and especially if it had wind exposure.
