Last Question:
Is it really true that storing batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer?
Answer:
Yes.
Storing batteries in the refrigerator can make them last a little. Keeping alkaline batteries in cold storage will extend their life by less than 5 percent, so it’s probably only worthwhile to do so if you live in a particularly hot climate. Batteries do lose their charge faster in high temperatures.
On the other hand, NiMH and NiCd batteries self-discharge at a much faster rate than alkaline batteries at room temperature. Storing them in the refrigerator will extend their life. You will need to bring them back to room temperature to use them.
