PowerPro Winter capabilities in unheated location

[Rumast21]

Can anyone share their experience of using their PowerPro during winter in a location that is not heated? I'm considering installing one into a shed, but I'm in WI where temps do go below 0 for a week or two on occasion.

I understand the battery can heat itself but there are not many real world discussions of using it that way.

Thanks.

You may have to wait for next winter.
I don't know if anyone in a real cold climate has installed one outside yet.

Don't see any reason why you couldn't enclose it in 4" of foam insulation.
(except possibly overheating in warm weather. Thermostatic pop-open vent?)

Heater will have documented wattage. Doubt they quote insulation value. But add-on insulation you can calculate.

The video mentions heating but then just goes into updating firmware.

Yes, I believe it's 223W. I'm just debating whether I keep the battery and inverter in my basement or out in my shed. The insulation cabinet would be the first thing I'd add for cold.

Looking at the spec sheet, I see the temperature point for when the heater turns on and when it turns off...

But, to me, it is unclear how far down the heater extends the operational range. I am sure it will do fine in my locale where the coldest average monthly temp is 27F, but @Rumast21 is in a sightly more extreme environment than I. Does anyone have a read on the extend operational range the heater provides?
