The issue with LiPo batteries at extreme temperatures are most notable when the battery is in a low voltage state, i.e discharged to 0-10%. In these cases there is evidence that the voltage capacity will rarely, if ever recover. When the are maintained charged (ideally between 50-60% charge), extreme temperatures will affect the battery (voltage drops when heated, rises when cooled) but the battery normally rebounds when returned to ambient temperature.
When flying close to the limits specified by DJI (manufacturer) during extreme temperatures, keep in mind voltage is dropping and may drop rapidly depending on current draw. This could lead to a crashed aircraft and an irrecoverable battery.
To answer your question, try to keep the batteries between the manufacturers suggested temperatures and remember it is a bad idea to fly with a hot or cold LiPo battery.
Hope this rambling helps.
This link will give you an idea about the behavior of LiPo batteries in extreme temperatures.
