Has anyone just thought about making a battery warmer? Take some old socks or fabric and sew it together leaving an opening to add some uncooked rice, then add a pocket on the outside big enough for your batteries then and put some uncooked rice in it. then sew the opening shut. Throw it in the microwave for a min or so and it will keep warm. You could make it small enough to keep in your pocket for a pocket warmer too.

Okay….I’m going to be the strange one and say that it’s not realy a bad idea…except….I can just imagine mashed potatoes in my pocket after forgeting about it and laying on my stomach for a shot. Here is what I use when I don’t have Hot Pockets. I use plastic soft drink bottles and fill them with hot water. They stay warm forever and I don’t have to worry about them leaking as long as I put the top on really tight. I think it would be best to not store any electrical equipment near it just in case you forget to tighten the top really good.

? How toxic is it? A little over a pound of botulin is enough to kill every human on Earth.? That?s some pretty toxic stuff!!

… I can’t possibly be the only female photographer who’s put a battery in my bra to keep it warm… can I?

Also: assuming the photographer also needs to be kept warm, don’t most winter jackets come with at least one inside pocket, these days? Body heat is a wonderful thing.

Warming batteries will only help with alkaline batteries. Lithium and NiMH batteries operate better at low temperatures.

Or you can go into the sporting goods section of most larger stores (like Wal-mart, or Meijer) and pick up a few hand warmers. Through them on your bag and you have instant heat whenever you need it.

Just put the batteries in an inside pocket.
