Presume that if bike stored in warm garage, and while riding in freezing temp, its being charged, should be ok.

Maybe frequent start stops take its toll, if riding in low temps.


The trick with a Li-ion battery in cold temps is they need to "warm up". It only takes a minute at most. If you try to use the button right off the truck when it's cold chances are you will think your battery is dead. With mine I usually just turn the headlight on while I get dressed to put a load on the battery and then she will crank right over when the time comes. KTM even has some sort of procedure in their owners manuals now since they have switched to Li batteries.
