Because your from Norway I guess charging the battery at low temperatures could be more the reason than vibrations. Li-ion should not be charged under 0°C because of reduced diffusion rates on the anode. For fast charging under 5°C charge current should be reduced.
For adv bikes the main advantage is that li-ion batteries at 0°C only loose 10% of their capacity (standard batteries up to 50%). But you should take notice to a rule when it`s cold and you start your bike with li-ion battery: Switch on ignition and wait 30sec before hitting the starter button. This will give the battery time to wake up by creating electric tension.
Equal of type and construction of the battery all have in common that failure is provided by 3 main reasons: vibrations, overheating and charging at low temperatures.
