Any decent LiFePo battery has discharge protection in the battery manager, so basically impossible to discharge them enough to damage the battery. There are a lot of them out there now, not all of them are protected, lots of Chinese garbage too.
The brand I bought has LiFePo batteries that are FAA approved for aircraft, I'm guessing the requirements are pretty tough.
While the cold weather behavior is exaggerated a bit ... I don't think I'd put one in my truck in my climate where we can see below zero temps.
Charging range for LiFePo batteries is typically 13.8 - 14.6, they don't like more, they don't like less ... most vehicles before 1986 don't control voltage tight enough, so they would have to be updated to use one.
