Try charging them when it's really cold.
First time they get charged when they're colder than +20F that will shave off about 500 to 600 of those cycles.
As they approach 0F they become nearly useless.
They'refine as long as you have an excellent thermal management system. To me the best application for LiFePO4 is a plug in hybrid with a lead acid 12v. That way you can get unlimited heat for the battery when it's cold.
