Re: Battery power and the cold

I use an isolated bag for my recorder when I'm out in the winter, and at least 
down to -20 has no major impact on the battery. As long as the recorder is 
running, it is heated by the battery's own heat. When it is turned off it 
should of course preferably be stored in a warm place.
