    Question Keeping My Moto Droid In The Car?

    Is it bad to do that if its cold outside and the phone gets cold or if its hot and the phone gets hot?

    I dont like keeping my phone with me at work because I have a physical job.


    ????

    Thanks
    Nick

    dont you think if its really cold outside, my phone would get cold and the vapor would turn into water or am I just being really crazy?

    Same thing with it being hot... heat is not good for any device.

    I do keep it in my glove department but I noticed its stil gets cold or hot.

    It all depends on the temps in your area.... anywhere from 30-100 should be no issue at all.... hotter then that and I wouldn't leave it in the sun but colder should not effect it for only a few hours.

    Here's why I wouldn't do it. I don't have a lot of experience with the Motorola Droid (obviously) but I do have a lot of experience with Lithium Ion (LIon) batteries. They are very susceptible to heat, temperatures over 100° F will greatly diminish their lifespan but that's not the worst...

    An overheated Lithium Ion battery can explode and catch fire. Obviously, that would be bad for anything, even a Droid.

    I sure wouldn't do it. A battery that explodes and catches fire in a car would kind of suck.

    Wouldn't extreme cold be an issue too? Like for us here in New England?
