At -15°C or even colder, I can guaranty voltage will drop below 11V. I know my battery is not in it's prime anymore as it came used from an '03 Vitz RS that was in the shop when I work at Toyota Canada. It drops to 8.5V when cranking in cold temps and causes my auto locks to play up. On occasion some doors won't lock or unlock. And I always turn off everything when starting my car, including the fan. I'm just hoping to get the summer out of it.

8.5V is mighty low. At just a tad below that the ECM will start acting flakey.
