Water
The cold-weather kit adds insulation, tank heater pads and heat trace to keep water and lines above freezing. Water from air drops in very cold, dry air, so the 150 L of stored water does more of the work.
With the cold-weather kit, a squad Rally Point unit keeps its water, lines and battery above freezing, for mountain towns, northern ranches and winter camps.
Cold is hard on water and batteries. Lines freeze, tanks crack and batteries lose charge, often in the same storms that take the power out.
Short winter days also mean less sun, so a cold site needs a second way to charge.
