As I understand, with most Li-ion cells, the colder the cell, the less
charge it will take on. Correct ?
But what happens if a warm battery is charged and then cools off ? It
still has all its kWh, right ? And further, the temperature of the
battery does not affect how many kWh you can get *out* of it, though the
rate may change a bit.
My 2011 Leaf has abysmal range at this point. I'm wondering if I were to
charge during the warmest part of the day, would I get a bit more range
? I'm going to guess it won't make that much difference since the
battery is in the shade (under the car) and won't warm up much over a
few hours. But I'm still curious if the theory holds truth.
