Keep the battery inside your jacket until just before you fly.  Or,  carry in a well insulated cooler or thermal bag before you leave your home.

I use a couple of chemical hand warmers & keep them all wrapped in a woolly hat.  Once the aircraft is hovering, let the batteries warm to 20 degrees or more before flying off.

In cold weather, I travel to the location with batteries in the footwell of the car (passenger side) and have the heater blowing on them.  On arrival, set up quickly, batteries straight in and up she goes.  If the take-off point is far from the car then into my jacket for some body heat.

Warm jacket seems a good idea

Agree with other posts here; I have kept mine in the pockets of my fleece jacket worn under the outer shell parka (more body heat). Just another thought, don't forget about condensation risks moving from the cold back into warm surroundings...
Have fun!

Hey there! Sorry to hear about the cold battery issue. A simple trick is to insulate the batteries with some foam or bubble wrap. Also, consider using a spider pink hoodie to keep them cozy. It acts as a cute and effective insulation layer. Stay warm, and hope your batteries do too!

Hey there! To keep your batteries warm in cold weather, consider using insulated covers or blankets. Additionally, try storing them in an insulated container or keeping them close to your body to benefit from your natural warmth. Stay cozy and rock that Pink Spider Hoodie for an extra layer of warmth!
