Maybe, but my Hotronic boot warmers are awesome and run most of the day on one charge with the lower settings. I'd happily wear one of those batteries on my belt connected to a hand warmer.
Are the Zippo hand warmers any good for hunting? With lighter fluid, they must smell big time.

Nothing battery powered it going to give you the amount of heat and the run time of that Zippo, at least not without being significantly bulkier and heavier.
This. Electric heat EATS juice.
No battery is gonna last long under those conditions.

I've never noticed that deer seem to be sensitive to them, at least in these parts. Unless you get seriously into the back country most animals are more acclimated to human odors (cars and ATVs particularly) than most want to admit.
I've always felt a little weird about having something burning (or at least catalyzing) butane in my pocket, but I've used them for many years and never had an issue nor have I known anyone that has.
Battery powered socks/gloves can work ok
if you have very well insulated boots/gloves or it just isn't that cold. But, if you get boots/gloves that well insulated you can almost argue that you needn't bother with the electrics
For the weight, volume, and BTUs nothing will touch the butane powered hand warmers. But, maybe it could be that you don't need that amount of heat in which case electrics might work out for you.
