No problems Bluesgunner. Also remember that the internal battery temperature will lag behind the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature decreases then it will be some time before the battery temperature drops, similarly, when you bring your cart in from the cold, it will take some time for the battery to warm up, hence the varied ambient temperature ranges that your dealer is seeing.

In this case, you can bring your cart in and connect the charger. As expected, it will not charge but as soon as the battery warms enough, the BMS will come out of low temperature protection and the battery will commence charging automatically. This “feature” will still allow you to charge overnight by simply connecting the charger when you get home.

I’m surprised that your dealer didn’t know this as it is widely known limitation of Lithium Batteries.

Cheers
Pat.
