This blog covers lead acid battery charging at low temperatures. A later blog will deal with lithium batteries. Charging lead acid batteries in cold (and indeed hot) weather needs special consideration, primarily due to the fact a higher charge voltage is required at low temperatures and a lower voltage at high temperatures.
Lead-acid batteries: A lead-acid battery should come with a smart charger that allows for voltage changes when sensing fluctuating temperature ranges. It should set the voltage higher when the battery is charged at lower temperatures and a lower voltage when charging at higher temperatures.
Temperature Control: Ideally, lead-acid batteries should be charged at temperatures below 80°F (27°C). Charging at high temperatures can lead to thermal runaway, where the battery overheats and becomes damaged. If your battery becomes hot to the touch during charging, stop the process immediately and allow it to cool. 4. Avoiding Overcharging
A lead acid battery charges at a constant current to a set voltage that is typically 2.40V/cell at ambient temperature. This voltage is governed by temperature and is set higher when cold and lower when warm. Figure 2 illustrates the recommended settings for most lead acid batteries.
Heat is the worst enemy of batteries, including lead acid. Adding temperature compensation on a lead acid charger to adjust for temperature variations is said to prolong battery life by up to 15 percent. The recommended compensation is a 3mV drop per cell for every degree Celsius rise in temperature.
Lead-acid: Lead acid is reasonably forgiving when it comes to temperature extremes, as the starter batteries in our cars reveal. Part of this tolerance is credited to their sluggish behavior. The recommended charge rate at low temperature is 0.3C, which is almost identical to normal conditions.

In summary, low temperatures reduce the voltage of lead-acid batteries by slowing chemical reactions, increasing electrolyte viscosity, and promoting lead sulfate crystallization. These factors create an interconnected system where a drop in temperature leads to a significant decline in battery performance.
