I thought that the jacket was only there to protect the battery from heat from the engine - they only fittted them to vehicles with larger engines that were closer to the battery

Yep. :y Especially given that the top radiator hose runs right past it.

It won't protect the battery from the cold. It'll get just as cold with a jacket on when left overnight.
