In an arctic military vehicle, one or more heating units is/are positioned against the outer surface of the battery to heat the battery electrolyte and thereby improve battery output capability during the critical engine start-up period. Each heating unit includes an internal self-contained heat source, thereby enabling the system to be used in wilderness areas remote from building energy sources. The invention is particularly applicable to arctic military vehicles that might be required to move through relatively uninhabited enemy areas where stationary energy sources might be unknown or non-existent.
