A big thanks for the info. I'm an electronics major that plays alternative banjo as a hobby. I'm am NOT a good mechanic!
BUT, I should point out that I do know a little something about the Cobalt's layout. I am afraid that the Cobalts all have their batteries (All use a single battery to the best of my knowledge) in the rear next to the donut-spare-tire located underneath a false compartment for the trunk's floor. So the cold weather is bound to impact the battery no matter how warm the engine gets, unless I fold down the rear seats so the inside heat could reach the trunk (light bulb!!).

So, maybe in the wintertime I will fold down the back seats to help the inside heat reach the battery! Thanks for inspiring the idea!
