Will The Cold Weather Affect The Performance of My Remote Trainer?

All batteries experience a normal drop in voltage during cold weather. As a battery powered device, your remote trainer or remote launcher can be affected by normal voltage drops during winter months and experience such things as:

  • Batteries can run down more rapidly
  • Unit can stop functioning properly before expected based on when it was last charged
  • Stimulation may not be as strong
  • Unit can turn itself off (evidence of extremely low batteries)

For best performance during the winter months we recommend the following:

  1. Keep the unit at room temperature when it is not being used. Do not store the unit overnight or for extended periods in areas such as vehicles, sheds, or garages. When traveling, transport your remote trainer in a heated area such as the cab of a truck.
  2. Charge the unit at room temperature and dry. If the unit is cold, give it at least two hours to reach room temperature before charging. Ensure the charging jack is free of moisture.
  3. Charge more frequently and allow a full charge (see your owner's manual) whenever possible. Note that the newer XLS, Sport S, G2 and Sport G3 remote trainers may be left on the charger or cradle when not in use ("trickle charge"). For other units please consult your owners' manual.
  4. Check your unit more frequently for the low battery indicator, and always check just prior to use.
