20f isn't that far below freezing, IMO.

The data sheet for my LiFePO4 cells shows a charging range of 0°c-30°c, which prompted me do more research. After reading what I could find, I have no intentions of charging below 0°c.

It may just be that they are giving me a 6°c buffer (20°f vs 32°f), but why chance it on something this expensive?

Anyone looking for cold temperature versions, check out LiFeYPO4 cells.
