We were unable to update the website yesterday, because we are having trouble with battery power. In order to do the update, we need our computer, satellite phone, camera, and video camera batteries to function. The cold weather is tough on batteries. If we try to use them when they are cold, the batteries basically have low or no power. This means that we need to warm them up before we can use them. We need your help to figure out how to keep our batteries warm! This is very important, because the warmer we can keep our batteries, the more information we can share with you! Please send us your suggestions.

Suggestions for keeping the batteries warm:
- wrap them in blankets
- hang them high above the boiling water
- stuff them in your socks (if they fit)
- put them in your sleeping bags when you sleep
- maybe warm them up in your hands (hand warmers)
Wrap them up in insulating cloth. Put them in a sock and hang them near the fire. Wrap them in hand warmers. Put them in your sleeping bags and use your body heat. Put them in a metal box near the fire. Put them inside your clothing, like inside your shirt, and keep them warm with body heat.
We sent a response in as guests, but we think the best idea for keeping batteries warm is to keep them inside you clothing and warm them with body heat.
Hello Team,
The first thing you should do is wrap the battery in a warm blanket during the day when you are traveling. Then put them in a dry box or bag and bury them under gear on the sled.
At night, you should put them in your sleeping bags with you. If there is firewood, you could make a fire and let them warm up near the fire. But don't get too close. The battery could explode or melt.
When you are going to sleep wrap them with clothes and put them at the end of your sleeping bag then in the morning they will be warm and ready to work. Or when you are going to go sledding put your computers in first blankets on bottom and wrap your stuff with blankets then put blankets on top then put all your tents and everything in front of it behind it or on top of it. (=
Hope this helps!
You should put them in the sleeping bag to keep them warm.
I think you should put the batteries in a blanket.
I think that you should take 2 extra sleeping pads and put the batteries between them.
I think you should wrap the batteries in the kind of foam thats in sleeping pads. You could cut a little strip off each of your pads.
I think that you should put the batteries under your arm pits when you go to bed.
