Is it true that cold temperatures temporarily reduce the usable capacity of lithium-ion batteries?
Yes. A peer-reviewed review reports that low temperatures reduce a lithium-ion battery's available energy, and a 2025 study explicitly describes reversible capacity loss as a temporary reduction in usable capacity caused by temperature that recovers once optimal conditions return.
