so for my truck since i do alot of short tripping, of course the battery isn't in the best shape. usually what i do is i plug it in once a week with my noco genius. i don't have a garage and pretty soon here its going to start getting super cold here in canada. as cold as -30 celcius. i was looking and hoping to find a battery charger that i could mount in the engine bay area next to the battery and then leave the cord sticking out of the hood similar to a block heater to make it easier for me to just plug the charger in rather then always opening the hood and hooking up the charger etc.
i don't know the truth and i am not very electrical minded but i believe when i spoke to noco, they said my current noco genius g3500 isn't recommended to be mounted in the engine bay as the frequent change in temps would be bad for the charger. i am not sure how true that is, maybe there is some experts here that could help?
1. any recommendations for chargers that i can mount in the engine bay for a good price? i can deal with the mounting myself, however i want a charger that won't stop working or break since the engine bay area will obvs be hot regulrly when running and then cold when sitting outside and rinse and repeat
2. is it okay still to plug the charger in the day's its really cold like -30? i dont want to ruin the charger etc
thanks!
