I keep my camera inside my jacket and out of the cold as often as I can. It helps with battery life and keeping the auto focus quick. I've never tried putting a hand warmer on it but you wanna be careful it doesn't get too hot, that starts a whole other problem.

I do not suggest taping a hand warmer to it. How old is the battery. They only have a certain amount of charge cycles before they die. They don't last forever

You should be set with those ones. I had the same problem.

The filmer for 403Media in calgary does that

Batteries are not made to be heated. They have chemicals that can sometimes be flammable or exploded under high heat. Heat can also decrease the batteries life span. I'm not saying they will be damaged for sure if you have hand warmers on them. But keeping them on an inter jacket pocket close to your body for heat will also work. If you read the warning on the battery it probably says not to put it by heat.

I would just keep them in the same pocket as a warmer. Not taped directly too it.

Or just on an inner pocket of your jacket or layers, you don't want to 'heat' the battery, just protect it from cold, body temp should suffice.
