Storing Lithium Batteries During Winter
I disconnected the negative side on my Lithium batteries.
Will they be ok if I left them in the trailer during the winter or should I pull them and bring into the house?Allen & Denise

From the Battle Born website:
"The storage temperature range is -10°F to 140°F. We recommend bringing the Battle Born Batteries to a 100% charge and then disconnecting them completely for storage. After six months in storage your batteries will remain 75 – 80% charged. Storing batteries in subzero weather (-15°F or more) has the potential to crack the ABS plastic and more importantly could cause a faster loss of capacity, in some cases drastically more than the typical 2 – 4% per month loss."Brian & Kellie

Thanks everyone. I think to be safe I just bring them inside.

It might be my OCD that lead me to search for this topic here, having already read the Battleborn guidelines for winter storage. Here in southern New England, dead-of-winter lows are generally in the single digits, highs in the 20's - 30's. On occasion we can get a cold stretch down to about zero for a day or two. I've never seen it below -5 (neglecting wind chill) in the 18 years we've been here.
Yet I too will likely bring the batteries inside out of an abundance of caution. It's not a big deal for me to remove them (and easier to do it now instead of middle of January!).2021 Solitude 310GK: Linen/DP windows/gen prep/slide toppers/king bed/EOH disc brakes/Cooper-H tires
