I still haven't figured out how to attach a semi-permanent cable to the positive post under the hood so that I can run a cable out the front of the car.

Batteries age themselves in hot weather.
A fully charged battery left for 6 months will do better in the cold.
I used to sell batteries, and had to adjust dead ones.
Summer wears the batteries, and the cold finds the dead ones.
Yes, in cold weather the battery won't give it's best amps, but warm it back up, and it's in good condition.
I have a voltage gauge, so I can see charging pattern of my X1 s28i.
It takes road trip of 400- 500 miles to fully charge battery, and since I live in apartment and can't plug my battery tender in, I just unhook neg cable and lock with valet key for a few months.
