freezing temperatures hurt all batteries
Was this Answer Helpful ?Normal, lived-in house temperatures are generally recommended, however here are a two tips that will extend your battery life: 1. Temperatures in the 40-50 degree F range is better, especially for long-term storage. 2. For long-term storage, be sure that your battery is partially discharged, about 30%, before storing. Storing a fully charged battery will shorten the life of the battery. I hope that this helps you and that you will enjoy your cordless tools. I am slowly building my inventory of 24-V, 40-V, and 80-V Kobalt cordless tools as I replace my older 18-Volt Black and Yellow models.

The manual doesn't mention anything about cold temps or what effect freezing temps may have on the battery.
