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

Installing them someplace inside the insulated envelope of the RV would seem to be the most obvious way.

If you disconnect the batteries from the charger when it gets cold, you still need 12v from somewhere. That would be the converter if you have shore power.
No shore power? No battery because it is too cold? Now you need another battery that does work in the cold. (SiO2 says PT š )
Is the battery able to discharge (run loads) in the cold but just can't be recharged in the cold? (I am unclear how that is with Li)
So what is the scenario? Some have avoided this whole thing with various types of heating for their Lis to keep them in their operational zones. Not sure how you power those heater things off-grid when the batts can't be run without them. Kind of confusing!
Up to you to better describe the worrisome scenario here.
