The O°C lower limit sounds optimistic for a li-po battery, unless you don't care about how many minutes it operates.

  In Minnesota the winters can easily fall below -20C consistently and I’ve never had my phone stop working outside.

    I keep my own phone in my pocket so it's unlikely to have a problem, but I've seen one die quick kept in a bag and we weren't really sure if temperature was the cause..

    My first phone (a Motorola flip phone) bit the dust after some time in my pocket walking around below freezing temperatures. Some cells within the battery burst/swelled so the battery casing pushed away from the phone and lost contact. If I pushed it in, it worked as long as I maintained contact with the pressure.

      I’m young enough I’ve only ever used iPhones really so idk what it was like in the 90s-2000s.

        How can a simple comment make my back hurt?

    Cold isn't usually a problem so long as you take proper precautions to not allow condensation to form inside the phone when warming it back up again - that's what electronics manufacturers are concerned about.

      VHS VCRs used to suffer from condensation issues, and some had sensors for this: the display would show "DEW" if it detected internal moisture, and you've have to wait before inserting a tape.

  Running the phone would warm up the battery.
