I agree totally about keeping the battery warm. I don't think "shrinking" contacts will ever be a problem (barring trying to fly in -50F temps!).
For many years, amateur astronomers used manual cameras (mostly 35mm variety) for extremely long timed exposures. When digital cameras came on the scene, they appeared to be a natural, but the cold batteries were/are a problem. Improved optics, better batteries and better cameras have all contributed to a better life for digital camera batteries in the cold weather - but it's still somewhat of a problem in many circumstances.
I think LiPo batteries are even more susceptible to the cold than nicads and alkaline batteries. |
