1. A method, comprising:
- measuring a temperature condition of a component of a mobile communication device;
determining a battery of the mobile communication device based on the measured temperature condition, where the determining further comprises;
determining, from a plurality of batteries, a battery operable under cold temperature conditions if the measured temperature condition is below a cold temperature threshold, ordetermining, from the plurality of batteries, a battery operable under hot temperature conditions if the measured temperature condition is above a hot temperature threshold; and
activating the determined battery.
