Someone from Finland has just told me about car batteries that don't freeze (apparently it's the law to have one over there) and I wondered if you can get them over here. I don't know what the proper name is, if there is one, but has anyone heard of them?

In a partially discharged state, the electrolyte in a lead acid battery may freeze. At a 40% state of charge, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature reaches approximately 16.0°F (8.9°C).
The freezing temperature of the electrolyte in a fully charged battery is -92.0°F (-68.9°C).
Don’t forget that a good percentage of the electrolyte in your lead-acid battery is water (approximately 75% in a fully charged lead-acid battery).
So those of you in colder climates give your batteries a blankie and keep them where it will not get quite as cold to prevent them from being frozen, just when they’re needed the most

Just wondered, really  
Also my battery's on the way out and just wondered if they were any more expensive. Wouldn't get one, mind, just curious.
