Hello,
I've been researching some of the discussions on this forum on trickle chargers, and decided to purchase the Noco Genius G3500. While setting it up today I was reading the manual and found something I wanted to ask the forum about - The manual for this device specifies that the operating temperature range is 0 - 40 C (32 - 104 F).
Just wondering if it is ever too cold to safely leave the battery in the bike on a trickle charger? I live in Ontario, Canada, not far from the US border where the temperature will occasionally hit -20 to -30 C (roughly -13 in Fahrenheit). What do others in this part of the world do - is it ok to trickle charge at these temperatures?
Also wondering, do you leave both leads connected to the battery all winter while trickle charging?
Thanks,
Pat
