This sounds upside down. If you are charging you are injecting current and as the temperature goes up, the resistance goes down and so if you hold the voltage constant the current will rise.

Seems that lead-acid batteries are supposed to be more efficient (less internal resistance) when warm than cold. So I would expect the opposite of what occurs. Any explanation?
