Yet another battery question

Place the tip of your tongue on the doorknob. If it sticks, keep your batteries well-charged.

Keep the AGM charged and you will have NO issues with freezing.
Actually AGM is a bit more tolerant to freezing compared to wet cells.
But don't push it to hard ;)

Hi Photomike,

Well I hope we exported that cold to you in your most recent Provincial election.

Hi,

Since AGM have a higher specific gravity they are more resistant to freezing than regular flooded batteries.

A fully charged flooded battery won't freeze until the temperature reaches -60 c (-77 f). If it is that cold outside there are likely to be other SERIOUS problems.

Many battery questions can be answered here. And the fact that it's in a Truck Camper doesn't matter. Mine is a better answer.
