• A negative temperature below 0 °C reduces the lamp's battery life because the faster discharge dims the light output.
However, these are temporary drawbacks. Once the Lithium Ion molecules are re-warmed, the battery regains its
previous capacity.
• Elevated temperatures above 50 °C can permanently damage batteries. However, this doesn't happen instantly;
repeated use at elevated temperatures must occur to cause damage. Never leave your headlamp under a windshield, a
window, or in a trunk if the outside temperature is elevated.
