well welcome back to the Steve Robshaw today we're going to test some batteries I seen a
post on Instagram about should you leave your batteries outside in the winter time or whether
you should bring them in and this is what I've been told by Milwaukee at a representative when
I was visiting a Home Depot and he said no you can leave them outside they're perfectly fine so
let's test them today and see because I do know that a lot of people will bring their batteries
inside during the winter because they think it's going to do some damage what have I been doing I
leave them out here now I have about maybe seven small m twelves and I got one bigger one here for
a larger capacity and the ones I leave inside I leave them in there because I used my m12 jacket
all the time and I'm changing batteries so but let's take a look at this these batteries here
last night it was minus 15 minus 16 now we've had as low as minus I guess 26 so we'll take a look
with the heat gun and we'll see the temperature of these batteries right now because I've had
these out there for years both these batteries are at least four years old three four years old
so let's take a look here okay so there's that battery so you're not going to get that in the
shot here I got to get that in a shot okay that battery right there is 23 degrees I hope you can
see that 23 degrees this one over here the same thing 23 degrees I hope you can see that there
yeah she's 23 degrees so let's let's try this and see because I really don't think there is any
difference I got some screws I put in there and what we're going to do is we're going to put them
ten screws in and I will show you that it goes in no problem so let's take a look at that next
so here we go okay there you go she was charged up and you'll get another shot though still
four bars well I hope you like that guys just a little bit of a quick experiment and you know
what using these two here yeah I don't find any difference having these lithium batteries cold
maybe a little bit less capacity but I haven't noticed that much I'm out here everyday in the
shop and leaving these outside have I noticed a difference well I just can't say I have because
no I think they're pretty good so thanks for joining me here today subscribe if you haven't
seen this channel before and come back again let's have some more fun and I think you can
leave these batteries outside I don't know what down the comments here whether you've
heard any different and what your experience is so thanks for joining here today final
you
