good question...

probably need to know the size of battery in amp hours and how new it is.
Then a rough calc can prob' be done dividing the battery size by the amps pulled each start.

Sorry I cant be more specific but I do not know how many amps a TKM 4/ draws when cold.

Starting/battery life is helped by reducing the load when cold starting.( making sure enough fuel is present, maybe turning over without spark plug fitted on cold mornings, making sure oil is good).
We use a large battery for first starts and an onboard battery for when away from pits (Biland)
