Can I leave LiFePO4 batteries in the cold

[JustPractical]

I have a 48v 100ah LiFePO4 battery on a portable setup. I charged it to 100% and then put it in a non-climate controlled shed where temps can occasionally drop to 0C and below. I know not to charge below 0C and I believe I can dicharge down to -20C. My question: any harm in letting the battery just sit unused in the cold weather? My plan would be to put it through at least one dicharge/charge cycle in the spring. It is more of an "emergency use" device.

There is no problem storing them at low temp, down to -30C.
Charge/discharge to 50-80%, but no charge or discharge during cold storage. Leave them disconnected.

Here's a thread that goes into depth on it with some technical data:

Anyone------can I safely STORE Lifepo4 battery in cold weather

I desperately want to convert our small off grid hunting cabin solar system from AGM to LifePO4. However, I am getting conflicting information about these batteries being STORED for months at a time in sub freezing temperatures. Yes, I know this it is not ideal to store them in cold weather...

I like authoritative, verifiable answers so I'm going to tell you to go get the data sheet for your specific batteries and have a look.

I use a big Gel setup and here is the snippet from my batteries' data sheet. Anyone arguing with with me regarding these values provided by the manufacturer is summarily dismissed.

Gel is not LifePo4.
You are summarily dismissed! ?
