[QUOTE="mr.paul, post: 1461907, member: 6454"] Doesn’t speak to the OP’s problem, but regarding lithium battery performance in the cold, they just need “warming” up. The initial try may not provide the minimum voltage needed to make the spark happen (11.8?). But once a load has occurred, such as initial start attempt, the battery warms internally and usually provides enough voltage. I have been using lithium batteries on my FJR for over dozen years with no real issues. My first, a Shorai, was still going strong at 11 years old when I replaced it with an Anti Gravity battery. Who knows how long that Shorai would have gone. I was just trying to be proactive. In the 12-13 years I have been running lithium batteries, I have never failed to start though sometimes failed on the initial try. I must admit though, once I entered into my ‘60’s a few years back, the desire to ride in the cold has lost it’s allure😉. [/QUOTE]
