What batteries if any can be charged below freezing? I understand LiFePO4's can, but only at a fraction of what they could charge at, at, say 70 degrees Fahrenheit, without damaging the battery (BMS' notwithstanding that prevent this.)

I've seen Dakota Lithiums, which seems to have strong ability to deliver charge in extremes of cold, but again, must be charged above freezing.

I've seen Relion LT LiFePO4s that will warm the battery with charging power, need be, to adequate temperatures before charging them, but again, they don't charge at cold temperatures.

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks.
 
Look into LTO cells ... more expensive and not as energy dense as LiFeP04, but pretty amazing cells.

I'm not sure if @Craig is still frequenting this forum, but he sells these on Ebay and is a great resource for info about them.
