[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 1005749, member: 15141"] I'm going to have to get rid of the Shorai and go back to a regular battery. Twice on the return trip from EOM I needed Ray to jump the battery on my bike to get the AE started. Both times it had been cool, OK cold in the morning when we went out to start the bikes. There was ice on the seat on my bike in Lewisburg, WV and the tire pressure monitor alarm light had been on probably for quite a while. [IMG]https://yamafitter.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/touring/2012-Post-EOM/i-ZNK4nQ6/0/L/day-2-1-L.jpg[/IMG] The next day I pulled the fuse for the tire pressure monitor so that would not drain down the battery but I still had the same problem. Once we put the jumper cable and let Ray's bike charge my battery for a few moments, disconnect the jumper cable and the Shorai would start my bike. It seems it just needed to have some heat but into the battery to get enough cranking amps out of the Shorai. As long as the bike is in the garage and plugged in to the Shorai charger I have it is not a problem but I'm not always going to have the opportunity to plug in when travelling and I don't want the hassle of taking the battery out to take it inside to keep it warm so I'm going back to a regular battery.
