I outgrew my charging station so need to move and expand it, wondering if room temp would be easier on everything than an unheated garage or maybe not ? Hoping to find something neat that doesn't end up looking like clark griswold put it together. Any ideas ?

I always thought keeping things cool is better for batteries.
As long as they are charged...

I keep my batteries in a heated 60ish garage. Putting batteries in an 8 battery 48 volt golf cart is about a months pay...

Seems almost everyone pulls batteries out of the boat in the winter, cool, and freezing might be 2 different things?

I leave my lithium dewalt batteries in my garage that's not heated and have never had any issues with them not working. I know the old battery packs were a different issue and that they diminished the longevity of the battery.
