You sir are being smart, while I'm trying to figure out how to unnecessarily throw money at a battery XD

Any lithium is fine in the winter as long as you keep it topped up (driving everyday is generally sufficient). There's a guy on Spyderchat who has used his 7Ah LFP battery for many winters with no issues (as the car is daily driven).

Let it go down even a little bit though...and the battery is toast if you charge it with the alternator on a cold day. My issue is I have no means to trickle charge or heat the battery, and I don't take my car out every single day, so LTO batteries are attractive since they are like an indestructible supercharged lead acid.
