Battery life in X100v in the cold

It's a reality of life that batteries drain quicker in extreme cold weather. Doesn't matter whose batteries or what they are being used to power.

When I had my X-E2, I did some testing with Fuji OEM and Watson NP-W126 batteries and in warmer weather I found I could get around 2.5 hours out of a battery. I alway kept sleep mode set to off and it didn't matter how many images I took or what else I did. So I always left the house with three fully charged NP-W126 batteries, knowing that would carry me through the day.

Thats the feeling I got. I will need more batteries, so far bought one extra original and I guess I will get a 3rd party with charger. Any suggestions for 3rd party?

For a long time I used to get Watson batteries that were exclusively sold at B&H Photo and never had a problem with them. But when I returned to Fuji last year and bought an X-T1 that only had a single NP-W126 battery, I went to B&H but no Watson batteries, so I looked at the options. The price of Fuji OEM batteries are outrageous, as they always have been, so I wound up buy a pair of Jupio NP-W126S batteries. Never heard of Jupio before but there seemed to be a decent amount of positive user feedback with nothing negative, so I went with them.

Now I have two X-T2's with five OEM NP-W126S batteries plus the two Jupio NP-W126S batteries. I have one of the X-T2s for sale on eBay, including two OEM NP-W126S batteries and that will drop me back to three OEM batteries plus the two Jupios. I have no idea of the history of any of the OEM batteries, so I always check each battery for swelling or cracks in the case, including the two Jupios before they go into the camera, which only takes a quick second or two. I also rotate the batteries so they get equal usage. Just bought a used X-Pro2 that will come with another OEM NP-W126S battery. I keep meaning to go to the art supply store and get little stickers for the base of each battery to number them.
