because of the size of my digi I always take a throw-away with me which is easier to put in pocket of my skijacket Razz

I took my digi camera lots of times. Well protected by padding on ski jacket.

Used to work for a battery manufacturer - the best way of preserving the life and usage of a battery is to store in a cold place! - (honest!)
