Sub-Freezing Operation?

[dodoftwogirls]

Has anybody used their P3S in sub-freezing temperatures? If yes, how do you keep the batteries from freezing?

Keep batteries in warm place such as pockets until ready to fly.

I have a picnic cooler bag that I make sure is warmed up and then kept closed when not taking battery out.

For extremes - I have a Turnigy LiPo warm-sack that fits in the Cooler bag ..



Runs of a 3S LiPo or car ciggy socket ..



I have 3 other LiPo sacks that go in - so I divide up my sizes ..

Hmm. Good to know. I live in southern Saskatchewan, and as most of you know, we get 9 months of winter and three months of poor sledding... Ah, just kidding!

Thanks for posting the good tips on keeping the batteries warm.
