Dangerous to store jump-starter power bank in car when outside temperatures peak at ~105°F?
An old thread but just ran into it ..
The issue of storing jump starters in car (where they should be stored frankly) seems to pose some risk as consumer reports state below.
Unfortunately it is still very hard to find products with relevant storage temperatures.
&quot;All of the jump starters we tested had a maximum recommended operating/storage temperature, ranging from 120 degrees Fahrenheit for ... up to 185 degrees for ....
That's a major concern: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the temperature inside of a car parked in direct sunlight can reach between 131 and 172 degrees Fahrenheit when the temperature outside is between 80 and 100 degrees. In hot desert areas, the inside temperature can rise even higher.
Unfortunately, the device manufacturers were guarded on the potential consequences of storing these units at high temperatures. Complicating matters, it's the fact that most of the units list their temperature ranges (operating or storage) in the instructions, but not on the product packaging&quot;
