Viper starting and mapping problems but not Nytro

I think we all agree but the ecu should be able to handle it and it can’t.
If the ECU were designed; to handle a threshold voltage of -X- and would orchestrate a safe shut down of all systems in the event of a voltage condition close to or slightly higher than -X-, requiring the user to return the key to the off position and then try again. Cold batteries act very differently than warm. I to have tried to start in -10 degrees and lower, sled battery only with-out success. Hooked up to truck and started second crank. This situation is usually mid season good fuel after a few days of riding, strong battery with 91 and 93 octane with MPI turbo. Most places I ride do not have a heated garage or any type of shelter. If it is cold in the morning so is my sled. Regardless of temperature the 1049 should turn over and start at -10. Sled has had none of the other issues commonly associated with hard starting: relays and such.
Starter should not be allowed to engage below a required voltage nor should the ignition system be allowed to fire. I know the Nytro seems to be perfect for some and other than the very cold starts my Viper seems to be fine as well.
