Default The inadvisability of charging LiFePO4 batteries below 32F/0C(aka below freezing)

I would argue that.
If you stated "fuel", then your argument carries more weight.
I think most peeps, when they hear "gas" assume (yes, I know what that may also mean...) you mean gasoline/petrol.
When you say "fuel", yes, there can be a mix up.
Heck, coal is a fuel, don't think anyone is shoveling coal into an aircraft.....LOL.......

Yes, LiFe is a lot different than LiPo or LiOn.
LiFe is a lot closer in safety to LA than other Lithium chemistries.
