Have a Chinese 20Ah Lithium Ion battery in pvc jacket for about 4 or 5 months. Lately it seems to take longer to charge. And it seems to discharge a tad quicker than it used to. Does that have anything to do with the onset of winter and the temperatures going down to 30 or so overnight in the garage? I'm not sure if its because I am riding faster now or if its the cold, or the battery life. I know that after replacing the failed Monarch fork with the OEM rigid mountain bike fork, I am definitely riding 2 to 4 mph faster than before.
