Hello -
I am wondering if I should be preheating the battery before driving with it plugged in, or not.
I recognize that preheating without being plugged in reduces the battery charge, but if I am doing so while plugged in at certain times of the day, the electricity charge is higher. I also wonder if I am adding a "charging cycle" by plugging it in to preheat the battery.
I have been told that preheating it while plugged in warms the battery directly from the energy coming in, and not through the battery itself. Could someone help explain?
