i asked you.
If there are check engine light codes, take it to AutoZone for a free analysis.
If there are no check engine codes, the main suspect is the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. Go to AutoZone, buy CRC brand MAF cleaner in a gray spraycan. Remove the MAF connector. Remove the MAF. Do not touch the internal parts of the MAF with anything! This is important, no brushes, no fingers, nothing (if you touch it, you break it). So with MAF out, you'll see a silver area or a thin wire. Spray well, then let dry for about 2 hours or so (let dry really well). reassemble everything. Start up and stalling should not happen anymore.
So, if the MAF cleaning does not solve it. You might try removing and cleaning the IACV.
Sometimes cold stalling can be caused by a vacuum leak. Take a really close look at any hoses that may be cracked and leaking air. I once found a pin size hole which kept causing my engine to stall, I cut the end with the pin hole off, reattached the hose and all was well.
Good luck, reply back whether the advice worked or not.

Inspect all the vacuum lines, you may have one cracked and you are loosing vacuum to operate the HVAC system.
Would a battery temperature sensor cause your vehicle to stall?
No, it would not. There are many things that could cause a stall at idle. The throttle plate could be dirty as well as the mass air flow sensor. You did not mention the kind of car or engine size. Is the check engine light on, is it when the engine is warmed up or cold?

Why will your Nissan Maxima not run cold after changing the battery?
No, changing the battery has no effect on how hot or cold the engine runs. The battery has one purpose and that is to store electricity that is used to start the engine and run the electronics on the vehicle. The alternator keeps the battery fully charged.
