does freezing (over winter) damage a stored fencer? (without batteries)

No. I have had one four years and store it outside in a shed over the winter (without batteries) in zone 6 and it has worked fine.

No, we keep our one around the chicken fence operating all year in ohios harsh winters. However, we cover it with a clear plastic bag to keep moisture out. Our other ones store fine in the shed all winter...with batteries out of the unit.

Yes it will. You can leave it hooked up during the winter, and it will keep your battery good as new. As your battery discharges it will kick on and maintain it to a full charge. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't think so. We are still testing ours. In the house it freezes somewhat with electricity, but we don't have much luck with it staying very cold outside in the heat. I think other people have said the same

I live in South Florida so freezing isn't an issue. I do not know if it will freeze. It is a fantastic product, works beautifully

We bring it in every time, but it would be fine in the cold if you remove the battery. It isn't good for in the snow, but works fine if parking lots have been plowed well.

If I remember correctly, it's hard plastic and do imagine the cold weather would effect the batteries. I sent my motion detector back because it was coming on by itself with no movement from anything. It was going off and on very quickly... over and over. I didn't order another one.

No batteries required. You just move it with your hand. This is a toy, and I've never left them outside do I don't know if they will freeze.

We go south for the winter, that prevents freeze damage! Seriously though, the tubes are rubber and would not be harmed by freezing, the caps are solid plastic, I doubt that the volume of water left in them would be a problem, but I suppose you could always put the original caps back for winter storage. Why don't you try contacting the mfr directly, they would be able to give you the proper answer. Good question though, I had not really thought about it before, but it does remind me, I do need to top up my batteries.

I have not found this trap to be operative at temperatures below about 30 degrees F. Alkaline batteries lose voltage at low temperatures, making the red "low battery" light on the trap blink, even with new Duracells. The only common batteries functional at zero degrees or lower are primary lithium ion types, but they are not readily available in C cell sizes and cost a fortune - roughly $25 per battery! I consider this characteristic to make the trap unusable at low temperatures (as in unheated attics or garages - two common mouse inundation places).

I have never used my gun on cold or frozen items. I do know that if there is any moisture on the package, it will not stick. So, for that reason, I would say no.

i have mine for almost a year now. the only problem i have had is it would freeze until the battery dies out

Don't know how the batteries will hold up in your winters. I have had my lights and have only changes the batteries once. It is in the weather year-round, from 100 plus degree Northeast Texas heat to temps in the low twenties last winter.

It would depend on the area you live in because of ambient conditions. If freezing is a concern, then absolutely not without some sort of conditioning; I would not trust insulation alone. There are no electrical parts on it, but even if freezing is not a concern, I would still recommend finding a way to protect it from the elements, especially direct sunlight; I would expect the UV to cause damage to the unit over time.

they're just like other lead-acid batteries and will lose their charge quicker in the cold and also sustain damage. i suggest you find a warmer indoor place for your battery. if you're using it at a ski chalet you can either hook a heater up to keep it warm when you're not there, or just transport it around with you. remember tho it's quite heavy

Due to the cold weather getting the best of me, I didnt get to install this fence in. I will install it asap so I can train my dogs. You might want to check with either the manufactuer or someone who has used it. Sorry I couldnt help.

we bring ours in from the cold when not in use as it is digital and has a battery cold will affect it. But we use it weigh when it is cold and just bring it in when done, and it works fine.

I leave my battery, weedwacker and charger in the garage year round (upstate ny) and haven't had any problems! Winters are freezing and snowy and today it's 93 and hot and humid! I would imagine wherever you are it should be ok as long as its dry!
