Perhaps you do have a battery that isn't up-to-specs. When I ran my test
yesterday, the battery came out of the charger (fully charged) and was
connected to a radio with the backlight turned on, and it scanned for 13
hours and 13 minutes, with a total of 45+ minutes of QSOs on low power.
I was probably responsible for half the transmit time, with sometimes a
couple of seconds after the other station dropped the PTT before I hit
mine, but I was really impressed that it lasted over 13 hours, let alone
with 45 minutes of QSOs included in that 13 hours. Are you sure your
battery was charged before you turned it on at 07:30?

Good luck with the PX-777 and the OT+ on your skidoo! Of course,
if the battery doesn't last...!

You could just remove the temperature sensor on the OT1+ and mount it
externally. Message # 6671 on the Tracker 2 group describes adding a
DS18S20. I have some on the way. it. According to the OT1+ manual,
you can add a DS18S20 to the 1-wire bus. Perhaps the message on
the Tracker 2 list will be enough to get you going.
