I'm still looking for any evidence that there exists any battery
chemistry that produces more energy at lower temperature.
This contradicts personal experience, written reports, and
most of the relevant data that I've found on the web.

There's no doubt that cold can *preserve* things like batteries
and film, and for roughly the same reason:  cold retards
chemical reactions, in general.
