This afternoon I went out to check on the new bike in our hauler and got the suprpise of my life. Upon opening the door and stepping in, what did I spy but the poor thing covered in a thin sheet of ice. The sheet metal and even the seats had ice on them. Outside temp was 4 degrees and the temp in the Haulmark was -2. An attempt to start the brand new machine (less than an hour of run time) found the battery stone dead.
So here's my question-can the cold kill a battery? It seems to be taking a charge okay but we'll see. I know have a heater in the trailer cooking away and guess we'll leave it in there. No room in my shop right now so that's not an option.
Any advise? (And moving to warmer climate IS being considered)
