Remember I have been using LiFePO4 starting batteries since 2010, I live in new Mexico which has pretty mild winters and I know all about their cold sensitivity.
If someone in a cold climate switches over to them, learns everything the hard way they will be very disappointed and switch back to lead acid with in a year.
The battery has to be located away from engine heat, which means most people will have to relocate it and needs to be brought inside at night when the temperature drops down near freezing.
I don't think they are more hassle than they are worth but I was prepared to relocate the battery and bring it in on frosty nights.
The batteries have lasted far longer than any lead acid, but I take real good care of them.
