Was out at dawn shooting with the 4T. Temp below freezing,<snip about dead batteries> Is this typical?


Yes, unfortuantely. Batteries operate using a chemical reaction which is greatly reduced by cold temperature.

Or try the lithium batteries - much better in cold weather, tho life end is
more sudden.

Though your experience may indicate otherwise the battery discharge curves would indicate that the silver-oxide (357) batteries have more of a "cliff" whereas the lithium-mangenese-dioxide have more of a "ramp".

Sorry for the technical stuff
