My batteries are 2 1/2 years old, and starting their third winter.
My normal daily commute is 44 AH.  When the nite temp drops below 50, it
seems to me that I get very low voltage under acceleration when I get to
about 386-40 AH, that is when I switch to 1 way charging.

when the temp dips below freezing and I get low voltage under acceleration
aroung 20 AH
I noticed the cold weather effect more on the second winter than the first.
we shall see how the third winter effects them..
