Per the source below:
“ LFP batteries too have their limitations. A big one is temperature: You cannot charge a lithium-ion battery below freezing, or zero Centigrade. Lead-acid could not care less about this. You can still discharge the battery (at a temporary capacity loss), but charging is not going to happen. The BMS should take care to block charging at freezing temperatures, avoiding accidental damage. This is a Big Deal in our Canadian climate!”
Urban mythologies should be laid to rest - FWIW, Here’s a reliable learned source for Lithium battery characteristics - there are countless others:
