> I think good advice is to keep your devices as cool as you can (ie don't leave your cars in sunlight when there's shade),
In some climates, such as where I live, the larger issue is the cold in the winter. From what I understand, Li-ion batteries don't like being charged below 0 C. And it is not uncommon for it to dip to -15 C or even -20 C here.
Really, from what I understand, batteries want to be kept above freezing but cool. So yeah, don't leave it in direct sunlight in the middle of summer. The more difficult problem is the winter (unless you happen to have a heated garage).
Yeah, they lose capacity temporarily when it's very cold. Most EVs now precondition the battery before charging by heating it up.
