Hi all,

I have a question about lithium batteries that I suspect you guys
might be able to answer since I am sure digital cameras go through
quite a bit of rough treatment.

Basically, I recently got a device that warned (rather vaugely) about
leaving the device (in this case a bluetooth headset) anywhere it
might get hot (direct sunlight, on top of a heater etc) as this might
affect the battery...

I am curious as to what might happen to the battery if it is left in a
hot/warm place? What are the average safe operational/storage
tempertures for lithium batteries - are we talking 6-0 degrees C for
example?

cheers!

There is a lot of battery information at 'batterydata.com'.
