The common misunderstandings

Around winter charging, two myths travel widely. One treats cold as dangerous, the other ignores it entirely. The closer truth is to settle the vague zone early, taking the middle path rather than either extreme.

What actually changes

Cold slows the chemical reaction, so sessions may take longer and range reads differently. None of this means damage; it means the unit is working as designed within its range, not failing.

A balanced habit

Park sheltered when possible, start with a normal session, and watch the reading rather than the worry. Planning a little extra time removes the panic that cold tends to trigger.
