Seems this is the one practical Achilles heel of them.
Yes, I have used my lithium pack in low temperatures discharge down to about -15C and charging at ~ -10C. The voltage was definitely lower at low temperatures, and I assume they loose some capacity (I have plenty to spare, so I have not tested this). The loss of capacity with temperature is true of all batteries, and is actually less severe with LiFePO4 vs AGM/FLA:
