Asked By JoggingJoe123 On

I'm an avid jogger and often take my cell phone with me, but I'm concerned about how colder weather might affect the battery life. Should I keep my phone at room temperature? Also, is it a bad idea to store my backup phone in the car during winter? Any advice would be appreciated!

Generally, your phone’s lithium battery is okay when you’re jogging in cold weather since it doesn’t use up much power. Just be cautious about charging it when it’s really cold, especially in your car during freezing temperatures. It's best to keep the battery above 32°F before charging! Also, avoid leaving it in the car for extended periods.

Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to keep an eye on the temperature before charging.

Interesting! It’s so strange how different devices handle cold differently. I never noticed my headphones doing that before!

Yes, cold can drain batteries faster, but as long as it’s not below -4°F, you should be fine. Just remember, avoid charging them until they're warmed up to at least 32°F. Better safe than sorry!
