Are the battery's inside or outside?? Important because of winter

The battery compartment is located inside the unit, accessible from the inside portion of lock

The batteries are in the inside. It is an awesome product and I absolutely love it. It is very sturdy and works well!

The batteries are located in the lock mechanism on the "inside" part of the door. The door handle on the button panel side has a small magnetic plate that covers the override key slot. When the batteries no longer work, you need to unlock and open the door with the manual key in order to change the batteries, which means be sure you always have access to that override key.

Temperature shouldn't have any effect on the operation - mine is exposed to freezing / thawing/freezing/thawing with no issues. I would be more concerned about whether or not the winter light conditions in AK are going to be sufficient to power the batteries.

Agree with Wayne and Brett. I've used mine for years in warn and cold weather. Works great to keep the battery topped up.

This is a question best directed to the manufacturer. However, I would offer that if it is not too cold to prevent regular batteries in a flashlight kept in the garage from working it will probably be all right. I'd also take into consideration where it is placed--certainly not on an outside wall or directly in front of a window or other indirect exposure to the elements.

Correct. The battery is on the bottom, and the motor/pump is on the top. This is really nice for cold weather use -- just aim and squirt! I keep it in a warm location for the battery, and to keep the grease soft.

I live in a very cold place, this type (lipo) of battery heats up when in use, but leave out in cold without using will probably ruin them.

I've had mine for one winter and two summers now. I believe their recommendation is to leave the batteries unplugged, but to charge them up once or twice during the winter. I stored mine in an unheated garage, but I doubt it got below freezing in there. My advice is to take the batteries into the house if you have concerns over the winter. I haven't noticed any degradation in power or longevity in mine. Hope it helps.

I put mine up, and I changed batteries after about 2 months, maybe more. It was cold at night also. This is pretty good considering the weather conditions.

All of the batteries are still connected and installed in the various vehicles. I've been using it for about two months in fairly cold weather without any issues. Works as stated--so far, so good.

I have installed it in my house front door. We are a four member family, all use it. The Duracell battery lasted about 3 months. We are in India with not very cold winters. You come to know when you have to change the battery, when you use it. I will recommend it.

I doubt it will ruin the batteries unless you store them in the cold, however cold batteries will have a lower performance. But these heat up pretty good when operating so I am not sure if it would be observable.

Yes they can be left out in cold winter months and the rain too. The battery's are rechargeable!

I live in western Washington and I store mine in a shed. I would not store outside. We get plenty of rain and some snow and electric mowers are common here. This mower has a cord not a battery so cold should not affect it.

There is a light that turns on when it sends the signal. Best to test it yourself with all doors and windows shut. Bear in mind that batteries lose power when they are cold, especially ones that are marginal, so the best testing you can do to determine if the battery needs replacement is when it is below freezing outside. Also - the range of this push button is dependent on the doorbell receiver according to Honeywell.

I purchased one back in the summer for the grand-daughter, so this is our first winter, but it is sitting out in our detached garage in cold Tennessee weather. It's hasn't been extreme cold yet, but you have given me an idea that I might put a folded up blanket over the back end where the battery is, just in case. Taking the battery out and bringing it into the house is not something I personally want to do. It might be an easy thing, but this 71 yr. old granny doesn't want that job.

Yes, it says it is. But in cold weather I didn't leave it out side because of the battery. I though it might freeze.

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.
