Which batteries are best for winter? (Arduino or ESP8266 / ESP32 projects)

_TSouG7xb1A/default.jpg

Are Li-Po or Li-ion batteries really useless or even dangerous in low temperatures? Selecting the right battery for our project is very important. Today we will focus on which battery works best in low temperatures.

We will test:
- Several battery technologies, rechargeable, and non-rechargeable
- We will compare their behavior at room temperature and at -18
degrees C
- We will check the discharge behavior of all batteries
- We will try to charge the rechargeable batteries at -18 degrees
- We will use small currents, similar to a typical solar-powered Arduino or ESP project
- In the end, we will know if anything exploded during the tests
