No no no....
There really isn't such thing as a heat shield for intakes. Yes the battery MAY block some warm air from entering the filter but when @ a stop light it wont do anything.
What you want is exhaust heat wrap or a thermal wrap. In order to be effective you have to wrap the entire intake tube in it. Reason being is that the intake is metal so it absorbs heat and heats the air inside. the wrap will prevent the intake from getting hot so the air stays cool.
