Default LIPO STORAGE TEMERATURE QUESTION

Hello everyone.
I'm thinking to store my LIPOs batteries in the garage, and it's not heated..
Next few days the outside temperature will reach 32F., equal to 0 Centigrade.
Is there any problem in storing LIPOs at freezing or below freezing temperature?
I cannot find the answer anywhere.

Thanks for your replies.

No problem at 32 F, it is actually better for them than room temperature.

Sanyo specs http://sanyo.wslogic.com/ gives storage temperatures from -20C to +50C (-4F to +122). I would not recommend long storage at higher temperatures however as they do have a detrimental effect on the battery.

I was just about to come here and ask the same questions and did a search first and found this. Very much a relief since my lipo's are in my basement which in the winter is probably around 40-55 degrees.

Well after spending the last 3 days in and out of my hot azz garage in 102-103 degrees ambient West Texas heat, I realized I have probably 30 Lipos, (Most are New in Box) that have been in there for the last 2-4 years baking through each summer. I decided to gather all of the ones I could find and stuffed two Silver Asbestos Bags (All I Had), and the rest and threw them in my 2nd overflow fridge in the garage. I'm guessing about 38 or so degrees, whatever fridges cool at. That damn 110 to 120 degree heat in the garage can't be good for any damn thing...damn it gets hot in there...
I've been sweating for 3 days working out of there in the driveway on my truck...thought I was 'gonna die...!!!
