Anker battery pack - affected by cold?

[Vandy321]

I have a anker 20100 battery pack I take in the backcountry.

I'm still running through and calculating how many recharges of each piece of gear it will handle (cell phone/headlamp/inReach) on one full anker charge.

Any idea how much drastic cold temps will limit that charging ability or skew those numbers real world?

I have only run mine into single digits, but I didn't notice much difference from using it stomp swamping in FLorida temps.

I have not noticed to much drop in performance in the cold. I do keep my electronics in my sleeping bag at night and inside my jacket when it is really cold. I use a small Anker not sure what model.

Have that same model. When temps dip into the low 20’s on down it will affect charge. But as soon as it warms it returns to what it was prior. Got 7 charges on an iPhone 7 along with a charge on my inReach mini. Keeping it in your bag at night is good advice.

Didn't seem to have a significant effect last year even in negative temps, but I kept it under my bag at night. I have noticed that a year later it doesn't hold a charge as long. Went from about 5 full charges to maybe 3.

Not an Anker pack but the same tech.

Keep it in a ziplock close to your body and you’ll be fine, cold is the enemy of any battery!
