Nice presentation snipped

rapid voltage drop of a cell freezing as it discharges (some thing to

If we had properly designed heater elements surrounding the battery,
powered by the battery itself, could we expect more "useful capacity"
from the battery on those cold flights? Useful capacity being defined as
the amount of current delivered to the avionics.
