Reed,
Here is a link to another possible (albeit more expensive) battery heating solution. This type of heater could be built right into the pack and would be much more efficient than the incandescent lamp in an open space approach, especially if you added an insulating blanket of some sort around the battery pack. Also, these might be an option.
