Kind of off topic sorry. Have you guys noticed any degradation in battery life in colder temps? If so how did you solve that problem?
I've had a battery (Omni 25,600) crash due to cold temps in Death Valley. We were dispersed camping near Dante's View and, while I'm not sure how cold it got, my truck indicated 25 F when I woke up in the morning. I went to bed shortly after sunset due to the cold temps and woke up a couple of hours later with a non-op cpap machine. I checked my battery and it was fully depleted. I generally get two 7-hour nights out of this battery, for reference purposes. We spent the next night near Mt. Whitney and I made sure to keep my battery between my pillow and my sleeping pad and the cpap machine in my pack, wrapped in a down jacket. It was snowing when we woke up and my cpap ran all night. I don't have a travel cpap so I just take my Airsense 10 along whether it's car camping or an overnight backpacking trip. One of these days I'll have to upgrade.
