As sometimes I forgot it into my car, it fail to start for about 20
minutes before it internal temperature is warm enough.

During winter, I was agree with that, because negative temperature are
not good for batteries and electronic devices, but 7 or 8°C seem to be
good !

My battery is 3 years old, that's may be an explanation !

My real question was what are criteria for rockbox to decide if battery
is empty ?
Is it possible to overide it a little to permit some cold (real meaning
!) boot !

I will try with the original FW to see if there are the same comportment.
