Reference posts on the battery temperatures, and a couple of questions.
It would seem that 50 deg. C is the maximun storage temperature which I interpret to be sitting in the store and not wired up.
The Operative Ambient Temperature Range is quoted as -18 deg C through to 65 deg. C
I don't know the answer to the following questions but someone might?
If the temperature in the battery system within the EE bay is towards the end of the hot end of the scale, and the charging system is active, what happens then? My understanding is that the charging system is always active but the extent of charging varies.
What are the factors that govern the charging system?
i.e. Are there particular times when there has been a heavy electrical load on the battery and subsequently the charging system is operating at a peak rate. Do any of these time periods coincide with reported battery incidents?
