I used to leave my car outside overnight in 20-30 deg. weather and had no probs with the 925.

Default I usually drive daily, but if I travel for a week that'd spell disaster coming in from Japan at 11pm

Not to mention, occasionally I see -20F temps.

I have the "PC925T". Hopefully it doesn't blow up without the metal jacket =p

Default I left it for 1 week in 40F & it was okay (brand new, though). I'm going on

consecutive 1 week vacations, so we'll see how it holds up this time. So far, no problems turning over in cold temps.
