The lithium batteries take some time to "warm up" if you are in a cold climate...They are great batteries but take a little long to start colder temperatures

Huh, I didn't know that. Pretty cool!
The video was very interesting. Still wonder about the LiFePO cold weather characteristic for the EFI models. As my(our?) ECU will not engage the starter if the battery level reads below something like 12.6VDC. Now I do live in north Florida, but it does get cold enough to make things difficult to start on occasion and many of you are much farther north(or south). But I have had my issues with a battery that I think is strong enough to power the electrics (fuel pump, lights & such) and starter but the ECU will not engage the starter. Detected voltage falls below the predetermined "threshold". Would you just need to turn the key on and let the headlamp run for a while to get things started? HaHa, or the get the voltage high enough to get the stater to engage? Am I over thinking it?
