Battery blankets anyone?

Anyone live in cold climates and had any luck using a battery blanket? We've had 2 mornings here in a row of hellish cold temps (this morning was -25) and I had to replace my 2 year old battery today. The engine started yesterday but I do kinda wonder now if the cold was already taking its toll on the battery at that time. I can't help but wonder though if using a battery blanket would have helped prolong the life a bit.

Thoughts?

i knew a guy on a grand prix forum years ago, he was in the army in Alaska, so very cold. he had a battery warmer, block heater, oil pan pad heater as well as a trans pan heater on his car. and all that helped when it was neg degrees out, aka most of the time for him.

so yeah its worth it. a battery tender might also help keep it fully charged.

I have mine heat foil insulation wrapped and a battery cover I guess you could call it a blanket from a corvette
I do this due to hopefully help reflect the heat rather than cold, you could probably get away with a lizard heater, just get one long enough to wrap around it and then you can just tuck the cord in when you unplug it. I am assuming you have the block heater already? if not that's a easy add-on
