Does Seestar have this battery protection? The battery should not be charged in temperatures close to zero, but it does charge. Does Seestar measure the temperature of the battery and adjust its charge?
Seestar S50 rechargeable battery temperature: -10℃-45℃; operating environment temperature: -10℃-40℃; Battery high temperature alarm temperature: 57℃. It will automatically shut down when the battery temperature is 60°C, and there will be no alarm limit at low temperatures.
AstroNet@ZWO Two questions
Many on-line references (https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-410-charging-at-high-and-low-temperatures) suggest that charging below 0C is advisable only with special circuitry. Does the Seestar include special low temperature circuitry ?
If a separate power source is connected to the Seestar, does that power the device, and charge the battery, or does the use of the power source disconnect the battery from the power circuit.
nic35 afaik, charging of S50 stops when reching 0. Those -10 are operating , not “charging” temperature limit. So, when battery T below 0, S50 will work, but not supports charging
Thank you .
