Looking to gear up for the extreme cold this winter, well, you'd better act fast because we’re in it now!
At least if you live in the parts of the Northern Hemisphere that are currently being hit with their coldest weather of the year.

Designed to be able to discharge at temperatures as low as -40 degrees (either Celsius or Fahrenheit—they’re the same at this number), these SmallRig NP-F970 Extreme Cold Endurance batteries should be able to provide reliable power without the need for external heating solutions.
The batteries feature a rated capacity of 7500mAh and will feature both USB-C (input/output) and USB-A (output) ports, which should help allow the unit to charge external devices like smartphones and tablets. The USB-C port in particular supports 36W PD input, enabling a full recharge of the battery in 2 hours.
What’s neat about these extreme cold endurance batteries is that the USB-A and USB-C output circuits operate independently, which further helps to allow simultaneous fast charging of two devices (total combined output not to exceed 54W).
