Do RV Batteries Freeze in the Winter?
We purchased four 6volt AGM Lifeline GPL-4CT batteries last fall. For twenty years we have driven down to Mexico for the winter. As Canadians we will have to stay home because of the Canada/US border...

Ok a FULLY CHARGED Lead Acid battery, and this include AGM. Is good down to about -40,, Don't bother asking if that is C or F because -40C = -40F it's the crossover point.
A fully discharged Lead acid battery will freeze at between zero and -1C if I'm not mistaken.
So KEEP Them Full and Keep them happy.
Many if not most modern converters and most Inverter/Chargers have good soild 3-stage or 3-stage plus charger programming.. Some are still single or poor quality 2 stage but even they will keep it in float. .Or slap a battery minder (A big one) on it.. Make sure they are full and keep 'em full and they will not freeze at anything above -40 on either side of the thermometer.
