I wouldn't necessarily recommend leaving it unattended under a fine automobile, but farm tractors through the years have been rescued from sub-zero temperatures this way on several occasions during particularly bad (or unexpected) winter blasts in cold places when the cows had to get fed somehow whether it was cold or not. My grandfather remembers melting the plastic handle off a pail accidentally doing this to a JD 2020 that had to get going so they could move round bales with it.
End of side-note distraction

My parallel battery idea was a genuine contribution, anyway.
