I have considered wrapping or covering the battery area under the spare with some sort of suitable (i.e. fire/chemical resistant) insulating material. I have also seen some of those interior heaters kicking around at Canadian Tire.

There is no advantage to insulation around the battery because there is no heat there. Get a battery blanket. At -30 a battery has a small percentage of the power and reserve it has a normal temperatures. A 50 watt blanket really helps and they are cheap
