Thanks for the suggestion! I do always keep my bikes in the garage. Unfortunately, you have to detach the Thunderbolt from the bike in order to recharge it - it has the plug on the back, which is pressed right against the part where it's attached. I try to recharge it after every ride , but I get lazy a couple of times, and that's all it takes for it to go out in the middle of a ride...
