Did it crank pretty slow? The stock battery is about the right size for a barbie jeep, and it has been suggested that a stronger battery helps immensely.

1st Welcome from central upstate N.Y
Many good people & information on the Honda forum AND they LIKE PICTURES.

Check the battery 1st. ( as some have already stated while I was writing this)
Honda pioneer's are vary battery voltage sensitive. ( most in cold conditions use some sort of battery <> maintainer-charger.
Voltmeter reading <>below 12 volts<> can cause the problem you describe.

More information
Year mfg.
Miles
Battery age ( older the battery more likely the Problem )
How long did it set in the cold 20° temp ( cold temp can take up to 50% reserve power )

Knocked a few off that pedestal.

Welcome from the Putrid Swamp Run Michigan!

Pics Or It Didnt Happen!
Been here 8yrs should
Know that anyway.

So assuming you have a 15’ cuz we have no info from you, we also assume u have the original battery. That baby is prob toast and It wont start in the middle of summer on the equator @8 yrs old. Again pure speculation cuz we have no info!
we will wait for that before we can go any further…..
