Systems and methods for low temperature charging a battery, which may be performed alone or in combination with heating a battery. In some aspects, the low temperature charging method involves obtaining a susceptance response of a battery, and upon a change in the susceptance response of the battery, altering a charge signal to the battery. It is understood that changes in susceptance are correlated with phase changes of a battery electrolyte – e.g., as a battery warms from a low temperature where the electrolyte is partially or completely frozen (solid) to a higher temperature where it changes to a liquid state, there is a change in susceptance. As the electrolyte changes from solid to liquid as understood from a change in the susceptance response, the charge may be increased as the electrolyte thaws.
