7.3 Starting power of lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures
402555-01
Lithium-ion batteries are far lighter than lead batteries, have a low
self-discharge rate, and have more starting power at temperatures
over 6 °C (43 °F).
Several attempts to start may be required. Press the start button
for 5 seconds, and wait 15 seconds between attempts. At low tem-
peratures, wait for 30 seconds. The pauses are necessary so that
the heat created can distribute through the lithium-ion battery and
the lithium-ion battery is not damaged.
The starting power increases as the battery warms up.
