I'm sure this has come up previously, but I'll ask anyway. Now that the cold weather is on it's way, Damn, could Li-on batteries withstand being stored in a cabinet, in an unheated garage?

From http://www.mpoweruk.com/storage.htm
The possible storage temperature range for Lithium-Ion batteries is is -20°C to 60°C but for prolonged storage period -20°C to 25°C is recommended and 15°C is ideal. Cells should be stored with a partial charge of between 30% and 50%. Although the cells can be stored fully discharged the cell voltage should not drop below 2.0 Volts per cell and cells should be topped up to prevent over-discharge. The maximum voltage should not exceed 4.1 Volts.
My version of storage is fitted on board a loco, parked on the shed sidings and may get occasional use during the coldest months.
Sounds like it should be OK.
