3 tons,
I'd have to say that Lithium Titanate are more than the equal of SiO2 for cold weather performance. However, they do cost an arm and a leg and your first born son.
My opinion is that the LiT also blow LiFePo4 out of the water, excepting energy storage density.
"Batteries with lithium titanate anodes have been known since the 1980s. Li-titanate replaces the graphite in the anode of a typical lithium-ion battery and the material forms into a spinel structure. The cathode can be lithium manganese oxide or NMC. Li-titanate has a nominal cell voltage of 2.40V, can be fast charged and delivers a high discharge current of 10C, or 10 times the rated capacity. The cycle count is said to be higher than that of a regular Li-ion. Li-titanate is safe, has excellent low-temperature discharge characteristics and obtains a capacity of 80 percent at –30°C (–22°F)..Feb. 11, 2021"
