Default Too cold for batteries!?

Hey everyone...
I have a little set up I Just made up in my garage to store a few of my planes and there transmitters.. my other planes are up in my room at room temperature but I Just simply dont have enough room to keep them all up there (dang addicting hobby! ) But anyways, I have a question about keeping my planes in the garage.... is it possible for flight batteries and transmitter batteries go bad due to being stored in a relatively cold place? I live in North Carolina so it does not get TOOO cold but at night it might get about 35 - 40 degrees... it'll be a little warmer in the garage though due to insulation, etc... but I was just wondering if that is a safe place to keep the planes due to the batteries? and if theres any way this temperature could harm them? THANKS heres a few pictures of my set up

The cold won't hurt the batteries. In fact, colder temps are good for storage of batteries. Put a good charge on them and you'll be fine until flying season gets here.
