Packing foam? Too heavy!!! LOL Actually that might be worth a try. I usually
just keep the batteries in my van and then fly for a short time.

The trick to flying foamies on lipos in the cold is to insulate the
packs so they retain some of the heat they generate during discharge. 
One or two wraps of that ~1 mm packing foam is all that's necessary.
