Turning off the Charging Process

After accepting the Limitation that I can't - and shouldn't attempt - charging my new BB Lithium batteries, it occurred to me that a few of the places I might like to go could get to freezing, or below, and gee, I could just turn off, switch off, or otherwise disengage the charging system so that I don't fry my batteries (no pun intended) if they somehow found themselves trying to recharge (I have Solar, and a generator).

Is there a way I can easily disengage the charging process at will, and reinstate when temps rise?

    Of course, SiO2 do not need such devices.


    OMG!

    If you read the OP and the 3 posts above you, they already have lithium batteries, and the batteries have a low temperature cutoff built in.


    And where did I mention the make of battery? Not all LiFePO4 come with a BMS.
