Can I leave the charger plugged in 100% of the time or will the lithium ion battery fail. Winter temps can be as low as 25 degrees below zero.
Check the user manual for operating temperature ranges. I don't think -25 is within the acceptable operating temperature for this device. but if the building is enclosed, the heat produced by the device might keep it warm enough to just continue working. Might not work that great if it's in an enclosed metal building though (signal wise).
