Abstract: A climate-controlled battery charging container includes an insulated housing, a heated panel, and a plurality of power outlets. The insulated housing may further include a base, a hinged lid removably couplable to the base, one or more handles, one or more wheels, a thermostat, a temperature gauge, a first power switch, and a second power switch. In some examples, the climate-controlled battery charging container also features a cooled panel, an intake vent, at least one fan, and a liquid cooling system. The climate-controlled battery charging container enables a user to charge and maintain a battery regardless of ambient temperature ranges including extreme cold and heat.
