Re: [OM] Mercury batteries 1.35V

Hi there.

Wrote the good folks at Varta once again for information on how to store
mercury batteries.  Here is the relevant portion of their reply:

"Dear Mr. Wood,

The product manager told me:

Do not freeze batteries!
You can storage them into a refrigerator ( = + 6° C ) and this kind of
storage reduce the self discharge.
The self discharge for mercury batteries is by normal storage ( = 20°C
- 50 - 600midity ) approx. 2 % / year."


Thankfully, I've never yet frozen any of mine.

FWIW.
