I ended up waiting for the bike to defrost and shorted the starter relay to start it.(with the ignition switched on) :D
had that happen a few times to me too. Once i couldnt leave work after a nightshift for about 30 mins as i had to let it defrost a bit, then roll started it down the service road at the side of my work. The only problem was it was a bit too cold and i had to do a duckwaddle on the bike and rollstart it. Nightshifts after that i just kept the bike in the loading dock :-)

Supercheap batteries don't come with acid- you purchase that separately. :shock:
