Question keep your batteries warm in the cold

please forgive me if this has been posted, but i had an idea for winter games.

we all know that the cold saps batteries like spies to a sentry (heh heh). ive tried many options from wrapping the stock of my guns in thick fabric to hot packs...

what if the battery was not exposed to the cold?

my idea is to have a extended cable connecting the battery (which would be located around my body core) to the gun?

using simple electronics theory i took into account resistance of the cable, but in my opinion the loss in power due to resistance is microscopic compared to the loss in power from the cold.

tonight i plan to have a pull mock up done and pics to follow.

what is your thoughts? i included a paint mock up to show what i mean.
