AFAIK this is only true for defective batteries.

Do not charge LITHIUM batteries in the COLD!  Attempting to do so, you  will
separate out the LITHIUM metal, as a pure electroplate, and damage the
battery/create a firebomb, if the charger does not stop you! These, and most
other batteries should be charged at normal room temperature, near 75
degrees F.  
Other batteries may charge poorly, but it can be DANGEROUS to charge a
litium battery that is too cold or hot!
                                                  Please be careful!--73,
