I was wondering about the safety and performance implications of keeping a flashlight in my car.
I just started keeping a 4 x 18650 light in my car, but temperatures here get as cold as -15F and as hot as 100F+ (Which can get even worse in the sun inside a parked car)
My questions are as follows:
1. Will this damage the battery? Can a battery "freeze"?
2. Will this create a safety hazard?
3. Is a protected battery safer for this environment?
I primarily use Samsung 30Q and Orbtronic NCR18650B Protected Batteries.
I really want this light light and *not* a Alkaline powered light.
Thanks in advance!
