I'm not sure. There are some clues that it may not be. I thought about that today. It's only 2-3 years old but could be worn out. When I charged it this morning with a charger that reported the volts and %age charge it started at 6.1 volts and 60% but never got above 86% - never got to 100%. But the volts were still over 6 so I'm not sure what to think. So, if the thinner oil doesn't do the trick in the morning I'll put a charger on the battery to top it off and try again. If that doesn't work I'll put the 300 watt heater on for an hour and try it again. If that doesn't work I'll probably focus on the battery some more - maybe warm it up and see if that makes a difference - never have had any problem with it starting in the insulated garage above 50°.
