Charging a very cold battery

If the battery to be charged is very cold i.e., in temperatures
below freezing (0°C/32°F), it cannot accept a high rate of
charge. The initial charge rate will be low. The charge rate
will increase as the battery warms.
Warning! Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
