how hot (as in desert heat) can a unit installed in a vehicle tolerate? 130-150f I presume.

I would recommend that you present your question here: http://www.h3rperformance.com/contact.php

Looked at the paperwork that came with the unit, but it didn't say anything about operating temperature. The extinguisher is very high quality but I can't help with an answer to your question. I'm very happy with mine.

The only heat issue i have had is from the sun coming in the windshield, so i made a cover out of cardboard to insulate it from the suns heat. I also painted the cardboard black to make virtually not seen from the outside. I did cut holes for the lens and the power cord and mounting bracket clip. Unit is working very good and i am in Arizona and it has been in the high 90,s already.

I would not expect any problem from being in a temperate zone, as long as you do not leave it on the dashboard of a closed, parked car in the sun - - - or something similar.

I can't find any specific number of degrees like some other mfgs. I can tell you on my truck it appears to be about 120-130 degrees. I hope that helps.

I cannot say for temps under 35 degrees. I also keep the batteries in the back of a vehicle. I have never had an issue.

I have lived in two extremes. Germany cold and August Georgia hot....as in its 100 degrees today. I have never had a problem with this unit. But do check it once a month for normal maintain. Joe

It's Good to 700*F but exhaust is much hotter (on a car anyway.) It should clean up easily as Jared said.

I life in Texas, we have around 105 degree max weather. If the RV is half way insulated, it would probably.

I have used mine in 32º .. The darn system is impervious to inclement weather. Rain, cold, heat and some serious off road action. Used the bike everyday for almost 2 years now and have only minor fixes to electrical wiring. I highly recommend this product to anyone thinking about converting to a P.E.V.

I am sorry I do not know. I have installed mine but I have not had any experience with temperature yet.

I left it in my car (I live in florida) and it was at least 105°. A week later, I used to put out an engine fire. I think it depends on the duration.

Yes, install one operating at a temperature of 65 degrees Celsius and have not had this problem some above 140 deg. F.

The unit doesn't get hot - approximately 100 to 110 degree's when in use if kept well ventilated. Under an auto seat is more then enough space for good ventilation. Might be a good idea to occasionally check that the vents in unit haven't somehow gotten blocked. (Very small amount of heat when you consider a humans normal temp 98.6)

I've used mine on hot Nebraska days, as well as on the Triple Bypass, and Hotter than Hell 100 with no problems.

I live in the desert of southern California where the temperatures can reach 120 degrees or more. I had no problems with my cameras being left in the car or being carried around in a pocket during the heat of the day.

WAAAAY too hot! I wouldn't put it directly on an enclosure. Put it beneath, leaving some airspace between it and the enclosure. Then check it with a thermometer after a while, because they are full of malarkey when they say it runs at 100 degrees. Try 130.

I live in the desert where it routinely gets above 100 degrees. I haven't had any problems with the bench being too hot to sit on.
