Does Cold weather drain phone''s Battery?

I'm just wondering if using a cell phone in a very cold weather drains the battery. I was outside today and my battery percentage rapidly dropped, also it shut down sometimes. It has happened on both my iPhone and Samsung

I've also been wondering this.

I think so and also have heard hot weather can effect a cell phone as well.

It's not draining the battery, the cold is slowing down the chemical process within and causing it to put out less power. Lithium-ion batteries really don't like the cold.

Cold batteries perform poorly.

Extreme cold can damage them.

It shouldn't but if might affect charging

  • Why does my Iphone lose battery in cold weather? I have an Iphone 5 and i usually keep it charging, but when it's like on 70% and i'm outside in 15-40 degree weather, all of a sudden it says that I only have 20% left, than about 1 minute later it says I have 10% left and than 20 seconds later, it dies. This has happened around 5 times and my question is why does my phone do this? And how can I fix it so it doesn't happen anymore?
  • Why does my iPhone battery drain so quick? I took my phone off the charger at about 9:30am, it's now 10:01am and it was on 100%, I hardly used it, I only went on Facebook to check the newsfeed and reply to an inbox and now it's on 87%? I was watching it go down and it goes down 1% roughly every 2 minutes. It's been happening for about a week now and I'm lucky if my phone lasts me half a day. What can I do (WITHOUT BUYING A NEW PHONE)
  • Why does my iPhone 5 drain battery even when I don't use it? My battery keep running out even when I don't use it. I tried to turn off location services and brightness and stuff but doesn't really help. What should I do?
  • What weather app reads weather alerts to you? I was in the dentist today and this ladies phone went off and said "A tornado watch has been issued for your area" Her phone was in her back pocket. I want to know what app this is so I can download it. She had an IPhone. I was going to ask what it was but before I got a chance they called her in the back.
