This isn't a battery problem per se as others have pointed out, these are temperatures where ICE vehicles would struggle to start.

The main reason why ICE vehicles struggle to start in the cold, is tied fairly closely to the battery.

There are some other parts that don't like the cold, but the battery is by far the most sensitive.

The engine oil having the consistency of molasses isnt doing anyone any favors either.
