I got DH one of these for Christmas, to keep in the car.  He says the cold (sub zero here) will hurt it and so far it has lived in the house.  He has his own mini garage with all kinds of big chargers and doesn't need that thing here.  Does anyone know what temperatures these Bolts will withstand?

I found this on google:

 

The recommended storage temperature range for the Halo Bolt is -20°F to 170°F, if you plan on storing the unit in your vehicle, the best place is either in the glove compartment or in the trunk (always out of direct sunlight).

I have my charger stored inside an insulated case made for it. That case is stored under my car seat. 

 

Every few months it's a good idea to recharge the thing to keep it from going completely dead. If the thing reads 100% full then it won't recharge. So I just turn on the flashlight and leave that on for a minute so the battery level drops enough to where it can recharge again. That will keep the thing in top working order.
