Dewalt XRP batteries in the cold

[sam.takoy]

Hi,

My wife bought me as a gift a DeWalt XRP combo kit. She bought it around Th anksgiving and has kept it in the garage (Philly) climate until now. The te mperature has been below zero several time. So I'm wondering: did the batte ries get damaged in the cold? Or are they designed to withstand it?

Thanks!

Can't comment on DeWalt, but my Mikata 18V lithium ion rides in my truck all year long, the first batteries went over 5 years despite winters that went below -30C and hot summers. The original batteries are still okay but a new set brought new life and power to it.

You should be okay

pimecell.com does a excellent job and the new cells are far higher capacity than the original ones. they weld not solder the tabs to the cells. soldering heats the cells and can degrade them.....

So, welding happens at what temperature?

Is she not happy with the progress you're making on the honey-do list? She bought you some power tools so you'd get the shit done?

Maybe you should buy her a DC500 vacuum cleaner and a toilet brush mounted on a DCS380B reciprocating saw for her birthday?

Or maybe she thinks he'll appreciate a new toy. My wife used to do that but I bought all the "easy" toys years ago. Once one has a dozen cordless drills, more aren't appreciated as much. ;-)

Ironing board. Works great! ;-)
