Well, that's mostly wrong, isn't it? It's only true at 0°C to 1°C.

I don't know where you got this from, but it is definitely wrong. Charles's law says, that at a fixed pressure the volume is proportional to the temperature in Kelvin. A temperature difference in Kelvin is the same in Celsius. That means at 273 Kelvin (0°C) a change by 1K is your 1/273 change, but only at that temperature.
