It will use about 1 amp per hour so depending on how cold it is you'll have a pretty good guess. ie if you have a 9 amp/h battery you will get 7-8 hours, if it's colder out somewhat less. I run an HDS 5 and bring 2 batteries with me for long days.
Let us know how the touch works in the cold. The HDS gen 1 and 2's work great but given the illumination system in the touch I was wodering how it works when it gets really cold.
