Very wise Brian
. Batteries are consumables. The most expensive batteries with the greatest longevity will ultimately only serve to prolong the stage where their performance is marginal in cold weather.
I can draw parallels with an expensive Panasonic toughbook laptop I bought many years ago. It refused to die but I was stuck with the outdated hardware. Would have obtained far better performance over the years by buying three cheaper ones as hardware improved and for the same cumulative price.
