Cheap way to insulate my portable LiFePO⁴ battery pack jump starter during winter to maintain full jump start power?
Explained:
Last year I bought a lithium Iron phosphate battery after my little Grand Am had a hard start at -11F. The battery was new but the cold night took it's toll on it. That had me thinking what if it didn't start. I bought my multi use battery jumper/flashlight/12v plug pack for this reason and in case I want to use the 12v plug option to run a 2 way radio off of.
The problem is the cold. No matter what a battery left in cold fire extended periods of time will put out less juice (highly technical lingo). How can I leave this in my car during winter while reducing this effect? I don't want to use anything that takes power or is a one time use like hand warmers.
Styrofoam or something I'm thinking but not sure.
It obviously isn't recommended to store in your vehicle during extreme temps but that is the only thing I really bought it for. Wisconsin winters are my favorite time to camp outside but a running car is crucial.
I know this isn't a battery forum but thought y'all might have some tips. This would also be nice to have for the start of an I.N.C.H emergency situation.
