Put it this way, warming up a shorai battery is as simple as cranking it once or twice or running the headlight for 30 seconds. Warming up a lead acid battery is a case of sleeping with it in your sleeping bag, or sticking it in a hot tub of water for half an hour.

Colebatch.. nice job on the Andes trip! which Shoria battery (LFX 36?) did you take and what bike was ridden?
doing a series of LiFePO4 battery tests. trying to gather much information as possible. especially under cold conditions.
