So, if you install lithium batteries without a heating circuit, and the temperature will drop below the minimum recommended while the trailer charging system is connected to the battery, make sure you disconnect the battery to protect it from being charged "automatically" even if the trailer is not being used for camping at the time.
Or... my Battle Born batteries have a built in monitor which will not allow the battery to charge if the temps drop too low.. you can still draw power from the battery but it will not accept a charge.
