Phantom 4 heated case for winter flying

while flying , or trying to fly my phantom, i left the drone in truck for a work day, and figured i would fly later when i left work, well it was 19 degrees, and the p4 specs are no lower than 32, i was getting IMU errors and cold battery error
BUT what if you could keep the drone warm, and how would you do it

well i had an idea..............................and here it is...... you can plug into auto lighter, or even a 5200 lipo, but photos are starting a 69 and gettin to 96 in 20 minutes

i dont think the lipo is the way, unless its a big lipo

or you could just buy a battery warmer for the batteries

I've been using two 500ml plastic soda bottles filled with boiled water and inserted with the batteries into my thermal backpack. They are still toasty warm even after a half hour trek down a -20c ocean beach. I'll usually warm and calibrate with one battery and then swap it with a fresh warm(er) one just before take off.
