If you have a tender on the battery, the cold is no issue, UNLESS it is SO cold that the fluid will freeze. I DON'T know what temp that is but you can find that on the web I bet.
If you are not putting a tender on it, then yes, the battery will die faster in an unheated space.
BTW- the auto stores keep batteries inside the store by the dozens. I don't think that ventilation issue is all that critical but I bet Minn Jim would know.
Good luck.
