Make well-insulated heaters, such as wire-wound resistors, mount them in the battery cells, provide a switch to turn them on. The battery would heat itself directly. Or, you could get a short length of heavy cable and short out the battery for a couple of seconds :-) . -- George Tomasevich, ihnp4!twitch!grt AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ
