I've got a LiFePO4 battery in my Prius, but it lives in the cabin so it isn't subjected to very extreme temperatures. It's been running great for over 2 years with no maintenance at all.

Cool, thanks! Just PLEASE be careful while you are experimenting! These batteries can blow up very easily if they are overcharged, discharged too quickly, overcharged, charged too quickly, or shorted out, especially if they have no protective circuit. I am not sure, but for all I know maybe the draw of the starter would be too much for a little battery like that. The alternator could probably charge it way too quickly as well. So have fun, but please be safe
