Battery discharge capacity/capability decreases when they are cold, but once they warm up it returns. A warm battery can deliver more current than a cold one. Moisture can discharge them though, whether its is warm or cold.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
