I had a similar battery when I came up from FL to school here in Ohio last year. It was doing the same as you described, barely starting when around freezing. The battery was only a year old (Everstart) from Wal-Mart. I took it to AutoZone and had them test it, said that it was onlt operating at 85% or so.
I took it to Wal-mart and then exchanged it for a 3-year, free replacement, MAXX battery. It was the highest rated one they had @ 1000CA and 900CCA.
Now, even when it was recently -3 it kicked over (even with headlights and driving lights on) just fine. Not as quick as norm, but def no trouble.
