Today we are going to talk about installing Ultraheat Battery warmers on my Lion Energy UT 1300 batteries. We are going to go over why we did this as well as how we installed them. These heating pads have a "Life of the Battery Limited Lifetime Warranty."
Well, the problem is that the batteries cannot charge during freezing temperatures. If Lithium batteries are charged during freezing temperatures there are these dendrites that apparently form and if they touch each other then they will short out. This is why most higher-end lithium batteries come with cold temperature charging protection.

When I installed my batteries in our RV, I moved them from the very front storage. My thought with this was that there is a little more insulation in my basement storage than in the small front compartment. We had one trip this winter to David Crockett Birthplace State Park and I noticed the batteries weren't charging when we were hooked up. I will say that it took me a few minutes to figure out why because this had never happened to me in the past. It was really only noticeable because a couple of weeks beforehand were cloudy and the solar didn't keep the batteries charged. Through troubleshooting, I remembered that these wouldn't charge below freezing, but the small amount of heat from the basement as well as the insulation usually keep them from dropping below freezing. As a test, I took a heating pad that I carry in the camper and wrapped it around the batteries... and within 15 minutes I noticed that the batteries were charging. This caused me to research solutions for this problem.

One solution that I saw on a lot of youtube videos was that people were just adding water tank heaters to their batteries as they come in different sizes. I never knew this before, but ultraheat was the original manufacturer of RV water tank heaters and began manufacturing them in 1986. So I asked them what the difference was in these battery heating pads vs using RV tank heating pads. The answer was that the heating pads are designed differently for different applications. The tank heater pads have elements that are designed to monitor and heat tank fluids. They said that these pads were very poor at monitoring the ambient temperature or the temperature of the batteries. They also stated that since most batteries are constructed of plastic cases the tank heaters would have a high probability of not working at all or run too hot for the purpose and risk damaging the battery case or the cells.

Why should you choose ultraheat battery pads vs knock off's that you find online? Well, apparently these pads are constructed in many ways and at many cost levels. Ultraheat states that by design their battery heating pads should last for decades of use. They use an exclusive heating pad and say that they are the only ones in the world that make this particular pad which helps with longevity. This pad isn't cheap, but you expect your lithium batteries to last 20-25 years and this heating pad is supposed to be able to make the long haul with it. They stated that some other companies do use trace wires, which suffer from metal fatigue and often shorten the lifespan of the heating pad to 3-4 years of seasonal use. These types of pads also have a more inconsistent heat across the surface of the battery.
