hrm okay how about run a length of wire with deans connectors on both ends, one into the gun one to the battery, rather than keeping the battery inside your bdus, keep it in a small mag pouch on your vest. get a length of tubing like from an old camel back to give the wire itself a little more insulation from the cold.

keep the battery wrapped up in the mag pouch, kept centered by wadded cloth, with a couple of heat packs between the outer layer of the cloth and the inner wall of the bdu pouch. run the wire, paralel to say a sling? a 1pt sling would be best, so you can have the mag pouch high and just a bit centered on your chest, without getting in the way of shouldering your weapon.

battery stays warm, but rather than having to be inside your bdus its in an easy access pouch so you can pull it out and get rid of it if it starts shorting

might be too much of a pain but meh its an idea, likely a bit safer at least than what shellshock intended
