here is the receipt.
the claim

Cold temperatures reduce the available capacity of lithium-ion phone batteries, making them drain faster.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that cold temperatures reduce the available capacity of lithium-ion phone batteries, making them drain faster?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed reviews and one measurement report that cold temperatures reduce the available capacity and energy of lithium-ion batteries, and one Q&A notes operating below 0°C is outside the recommended range. None of the placed sources specifically addresses phone batteries or the claim that they drain faster.
