Our 2013 Leaf battery heater turns on at 0 deg.F, and turns back off at 14 deg.F. However, it's either a pretty wimpy heater, or the insulation is poor, because it still can't cope with serious sub-zero temperatures like we get in Minnesota. We still have to keep the car in the garage to prevent battery "freezing". -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James But it *does* require attention to detail! -- Lee Hart -- Lee A.
