The weather is very strange, but I’m very familiar as an inventor. I invented the melting system for vehicles around the world and with my research really doesn’t surprise me places that doesn’t snow that actually got snow. I enjoyed this video. Captain.⚓️❄️😃

[@OutOnTheReef]

@RalphSanabria Wow, Ralph. And yes, weather's been crazy lately. And yes, these things should not surprise us.The weather's a little nuts.Thanks for watching captain and see you on the next one.Be safe

[@foreverfixin]

It was 16 degrees this morning in Tennessee I bought a ceramic heater to leave in the boat and yes I leave it on they have lithium batteries that have built-in Heat love the videos buddy

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@foreverfixin I love Tennessee and thank you.Buddy, you've been watching my channel for a long time.I'm glad that you're taking this seriously and taking care of your batteries.You're awesome thank you for watching

Hi Capt.... great information, thank you! I don't have lithium batteries on our boat, but I do have a dozen tools that run off lithium batteries. I bring those into the house in cold weather. We had 5-6" of snow last night, and the temperature will be 13 F tonight. It never got out of the 20's during the day today.... Have a great evening!

[@OutOnTheReef]

wow Cap 20s is very low that will freeze things , and you have a great point on small power tools, i did not think of that, thanks for watching and have a awesome night cap, good Night my Friend.

[@johnkosowski3321]

LiFePO4 batteries are fine below freezing as long as you don't try to charge them. If you try to charge them, something called "lithium plating" can occur. I store them in my boat in Chicago all winter long, and have never had a problem. But, don't charge them. Also, good advice about the space heater. A tenant at my warehouse started a fire that way just a couple of months ago.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@johnkosowski3321 Good information, captain.Thank you for sharing it and you are right as long as you don't charge them below. In my. Case my batteries are In the warm cabin Thanks for the info captain that really helps others

Good info, thanks Capt. Be well...

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks cap. and have a great night cap.

[@johngranato2673]

It snowed in Miami in 1977. In 1987 or 88, I experienced 18 degrees near Lake Okeechobee

[@OutOnTheReef]

@johngranato2673 wow that is a record cap 18 wow ,all the fruit trees were gone for sure

[@johngranato2673]

@@OutOnTheReef I did damage

[@denniskim7368]

lol. You finally know how it feels to have a great chair

[@OutOnTheReef]

@denniskim7368 yes cap a real chair 💺 👍🛥⚓️

[@414s4]

We just had -13f temps, the lithium batteries in my outdoor cameras stop working at -4f, and work fine once they warm up. That being said, I do bring in my tool batteries during the winter.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@414s4 smart Is better to be safe than sorry👍👍⚓️

"Cool" to know. I tapped the thumbs up button to feed the algorithm monsters.

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks cap.👍you are awesome and have a great night cap.

[@christophermoore7244]

Check into heating pads for batteries

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@christophermoore7244 Thanks for the suggestion, captain.I did not know they make those

[@yumyum408]

Ha...i love the shirt

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@yumyum408 lol cap. Thanks for your support ⚓️👍

[@tomd.43]

Capt thanks for the info on the Lithium batteries. Could you run an extension cord from your house to power a light inside the Crooked Pilot House to increase the temp a little?

[@OutOnTheReef]

@tomd.43 Yes captain the Croo. Ked pride house always have power That I have connected to the house And yes, a light bulb will really help too.Thanks for the idea captain

[@good2go193]

Just to be clear,Lithium batteries do not get damaged from being 32 degrees,they get damaged from using them if 32 degrees or lower. They can stay outside without issue.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@good2go193 Wow. I did not know that, but what I've been told is that never happened on freezing temperatures.Thanks for your comment

[@good2go193]

@ it’s also ok to charge them just don’t discharge.

[@yumyum408]

Oh geez...we had 6° yesterday

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@yumyum408 Wow that's gotta be tough

[@anthony_8122]

you neen Lithium batteries with heater warmers in them if too cold where you are, they self heat

[@PJnc276]

yeah at a minimum you should look for an LFP battery with low temp protection as attempting to charge them when below freezing is what can damage them, not necessarily discharging them. The fancier ones have the heaters to keep them warm but may not be necessary depending on your location. Will has a good video on the topic and does a lot of tear downs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5LMqKt6ir5sntEsi=5fj4a85qCA989ZyV

hey captain , when are you gonna start doing some fan flotillas

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@gator-ii7sw I haven't thought about it but maybe one day captain

[@rickyreed8045]

Not good to charge lithuim batteries below 32. Okay to use them.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@rickyreed8045 In my case, the cabin is warm, so it should be fine.Captain thanks for your comment

[@rafaelmontane4810]

Not true brother it snowed in Miami inthe 70s

[@OutOnTheReef]

@rafaelmontane4810 wow i herd that today from a viewer That is crazy

[@kochykoo]

Awww what's the matter... You don't want to come up and play in the snow 🤣🤣🤣 fish don't care about this snow. You know that boats more like a woman. You never know which version your going to get but the more attention you give it the easier it is to maintain 😉😉😉

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@kochykoo Tropical fish don't like the cold weather captain.That's why I go to the caribbean👍😂

[@kochykoo]

@OutOnTheReef lololol boooooy ain't that some of the biggest bullshit I've heard lololol. You might as well said you go to the Caribbean because your out of place when your toes ain't in the sand and you got your bar serving margaritas in your swimming pool 🤣🤣🤣

[@toddmoran4630]

That’s only true for charging. Charging below 32f is the issue. They are fine below 32 resting or being used. Most of these batteries have 32f charging protection. Love your content, but this whole video is incorrect.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@toddmoran4630 Thank you for your comment.It really helps everybody else reading them
