If it is near your home, you can run a mechanics light from your house or garage and hang it in the engine compartment near the battery. Rest the hood closed, don't slam it. The heat from the bulb will help your battery resist the cold. === === Also, a fully charged battery better resists the effects of cold temperatures.
