Når temperaturen faller ned mot 0 eller under er det lite fart i cellene før de får litt temp.
På mine sykler med lithium så lar jeg bare lyset/tenning stå på en 20-30 sekunder før start-da har interne temperaturen i batteriet økt og det er som 25+ grader.
Men kjører stort sett ikke under 5-6grader.

The second call has to do with using lithium motorcycle batteries in cold weather.
It is 45 degrees outside, and has been in the 30′s for months. Your battery is basically frozen. You turn on the key and…nothing. WTH?
Well, the lithium that we use in our Pulse motorcycle batteries- A123 Systems LiFeP04 Nanophosphate®- tends to go dormant at cold temperatures. Our batteries will require a minute or two of “waking them up” before they will start your bike.
You can do this a few ways:
1. Turn on the headlights for a few minutes- until they are bright
2. Hold the horn button for a few minutes- until it sounds normal
3. Cycle the fuel pump 10-15 times, until it sounds normal
You should then be able to start your bike.
Note: I have seen videos from other battery companies where they will try to start a bike to wake up a battery. We do not recommend this at all. You could easily damage the starter, starter gear, sprag, and other components. It is much safer to just try to other methods I recommend above.
Bottom line- lithium motorcycle batteries work great in cold weather, provided you give them the proper wake up sequence. If you are looking for a battery that will work in freezing temps without having to deal with waiting a minute or two, lithium may not be for you. Unfortunately, this is one of the limitations of lithium batteries as they currently exist.
At Full Spectrum Power, we believe it is a small trade-off to make for light weight, high power, and small size- but that is a decision you need to make for yourself. Lithium batteries are not always the best choice, for every motorcycle, rider, and application. Sometimes- many times- lead acid or AGM is a better choice.
