Yesterday I hiked for a couple of hours in 20 degree weather with my Phantom 2 batteries in a pack and my phantom hanging open on the outside of my bag. The batteries were pretty cold and the Phantom itself was of course VERY cold.
When I tried to fly, I almost instantly got low battery warnings which I assume must be due to the cold. I saw some things about "battery heaters" you can get to put your batteries in before flying. Also, saw tips suggesting you should run your motors for a bit to warm everything up.
My question is...should you keep the phantom warm as well? If I had batteries that were very warm...but the inside of the phantom was very cold, would that cause issues as well?
thanks.
