Cut4fun:  Items number 1, 2, 5, 14 and 19 will address your questions about the battery packs.  The saw does fine in cold weather. If it sits overnight at below 32˚F it may not run until the battery is warmed. When using the CS250 in cold weather, simply keep the battery pack above freezing until ready to cut. As you start your job, the battery will most likely stay warm enough to continue running.

man of stihl:  Item number 3 answers your question.

660magnum: Li-Ion batteries do lose some charge while sitting, but not nearly as drastic as Ni-Cad do.  Item number 19 addresses the amount.

Good questions all.  I hope I provided the information you were looking for.
