Sometimes freezing a battery will also kill it. A warm battery is a happy battery. I used to take ‘em out in some of my old cars back in the 70s during cold snaps. Take it in the house, put it on a wood plank somewhere warm. It takes a few minutes to hook it back up, but it is faster than running a cold battery down and having to deal with it.

Batteries get so cold in that open-underneath engine compartment. I miss my VWs. In the Squareback it was under the back seat and in the 412s it was under the driver’s seat. Stayed much warmer.
