A normal truck sized lead acid battery soaks up about 2 amps to float it from full charge 12.8v resting voltage to 14v.
It's actually 20°F. You don't want to charge LiFePO4 batteries when their below 20°F. Freeze they should be fine.
My LiFePO4 batteries have lasted so long because they are not in the engine compartment.
