Cold (ish) Battery Charging Cumulative Damage?

The manual for my batteries says not to charge them below 50F. My garage is currently 51F, so is there any cumulative effect of charging the batteries at close to the minimum temperature repeatedly?
 
All you can do is follow the instructions. They in effect guarantee no damage at 50F, and there is probably more than a few degrees of overhead built in. I really doubt anything happens at 50F.

If they wanted, a battery maker could use cells allowed to charge at 32F. Most Samsung and Panasonic cells go that low. Some Molicells are designed for lower temperature and are -20F. Then again, some brands are 50F. Florida must be that market,

It's going to be impossible for anyone to answer this for you as Harry said... It depends on the cells used.
But Foof' gave you good advice and your 2amp charger should be fine as that's reasonably low current.
You're also following the manufacturer recommendation, so don't sweat it.
