Batteries in Cold Weather
Submitted by Anonymous.
"Alkaline batteries are horrible in cold weather."
Some words from the tipster:
Alkaline batteries are naff in cold weather. The chemistry they use slows down a lot, and headtorches etc will become much dimmer and not last as long.
Rechargeable NiMHs are better, and continue to work effectively, well into sub-freezing temperatures.
Lithium batteries are even better still. They work in really cold temperatures. Some manufacturers claim
Has that actually resulted in a spark of interest? Really? Well, why not discuss further?

Keep alkaline batteries warm in your inner pockets, close to your body. You can then whip them out whenever you need them.
