Lithium Ion batteries in cold weather?
They have a rep for poor performance, no? I'm thinking of picking up the new model of the NightRider MiNewt, which comes with a lithium ion battery pack (right?) but I'm concerned about performance in cold weather as, after all, most of my night riding (commuting) is during the cold winter months here in NYC.

Lithium ion batteries will last longer in the cold than NiMH will though.

Plus the LI weighs much less. But you pay a premium for these benefits. |

Sounds like I shouldn't worry. Thanks BF!

I use a Li-Ion pack from Batteryspace.com for my lights. The pack was fine even at the lowest temperatures, -20C or so. I brought the pack inside only when it needed a charge, otherwise it stayed in the unheated garage.
