How long is "too long"?  I just discovered that our postman left mine in a weird spot, sometime today, in ~0-degree F weather.   It had no battery when I tried to turn it on.  It does power on in the docking station and does seem to be taking a charge (it's at 2% now), but I don't know whether it will hold the charge.

0 degrees F is almost -18 degrees C, that would most certainly do it if left for a while... Batteries really do not like cold temperatures, for exactly this reason batteries used in cold environments will have battery-warmer circuits (for example, Tesla cars).

Sounds like you need a new LiPo cell. They are really quite small and shouldn't be too expensive.
