From what I have heard and I checked again a fully charged battery will not freeze.
Also; From http://www.progressivedyn.com/battery_basics.html
If your battery is partially discharged, the electrolyte in a lead acid battery may freeze. At a 40% state of charge, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature drops to approximately -16 degrees F. When a battery is fully charged the electrolyte will not freeze until the temperature drops to approximately -92 degrees F.
