    Actually storing batteries in a cool place where they will not warm and cool repeatedly is enough to extend there life. It is not necessary to store in the freezer and I wouldn't recommend using those frigid batteries until they've had a chance to warm up a bit since the battery will not send out the proper electrical charge when that cold. Storing a battery in a hot place or a place with a large or rapid temperature change certainly can shorten the life of the battery.
    A good place to store batteries is in the fridge (not the freezer) where it is not so cold but, they stay at a more regularly cool temperature. This will help keep your unused batteries for their full shelf life and probably longer!

    • Regular Alkaline Batteries have a very long shelf life (about 7 years) What would the point be in freezing them?
