Anyhow, I am uncomfortable about this, but (a) the rationale behind it is convincing, and (b) what else is there to do, apart from buying a new battery for no reason at all?

I suppose it depends in part on how long you have been reading along with this forum.
There was a member here that wanted to run a "current hazard conditions" report on DXG devices.
Snow hazards.
Alpine area ski resorts.
Outdoors.
In an area that **might** be above freezing in the middle of summer.
The devices where reported to be working quite well, even with their original battery.
I had to wonder about that one day, with a pile of Kindles showing "empty" battery icons looking at me.
And having a bit of electronics background (about 60 years of it) I wondered if the Amazon/Lab126 people had checked their designs at extremes of temperature.
Putting a Li-Ion battery in the fire while recharging it did not seem to be a good idea.
Which lead to the only choice, test the result of running the Kindles at freezing conditions.
Mostly just a matter of luck on my part.
PS: Avoid "diags" when recharging if you can.
