Battery's freezing?

Batteries...

I know a dead battery (or low on juice) will freeze in cold weather.

What about a fully charged battery, with temps not going below 15 degrees?

(In-law 300 hundred miles away. He calls me and is getting his RV ready for summer. His battery is dead and he keeps his RV plugged in 24/7 He thinks battery froze last winter and I don't think a health battery will freeze and he has other problems).

Battery is hooked up to another charged right now, to test further.

Thanks

    OP here....HOLD your answers folks. And Yes, Thanks for answer. I know now and I hope I never see -90.

    Brother in law called me back. He took the battery out of his RV and is trying to charge battery on his work bench. In the process of hooking up his battery he found His elec cord to RV fell out or got pulled of socket. Maybe when cleaning garage or something.

    At any rate, The cause of his battery problem has most likely been found. Pretty hard to keep RV charged up with no juice since last Nov.

    A fully charged lead acid battery will not freeze until the temp is below -90F.
