Re: [pvusers] Battery Time

[Raned@aol.com]

Hello,

This is my first post.  I hope I'm sending to the right address.

I wanted to make sure I understood the State of Charge and Freezing Temperature Chart correctly:

Do I have this right?

* When the temperature is -76 (Fahrenheit) a battery that is 100 % charged will freeze.  

* And at -6 (F) a battery that is 40 % charged will freeze.


At say 0 degrees fahrenheit ( the lowest in my area) at what state of charge would a battery freeze?

Thanks,

Randall
