I have no worries about cold weather and battery storage. I have batteries on tractors and combines that sit all winter on steel getting full benefit of the cold. Yet they fire right up in the spring and I've had up to 15 years out of a set of batteries with virtually no maintenance. Good batteries or good luck?
I got one of those little I.R. temperature deals too last year. Interesting to check the temp on various parts of the flathead during and after running. I should really try it out on my fingers after working on cold cast iron for a while :-) -22F out there tonight. Hope the anti freeze is strong in the engines.
