A number of years ago in one of the photo mags there was a story on the
subject of refrigerating batteries to extend battery life. Duracell had done
some extensive testing and the results were that it made no significant
difference whether they were stored at room temp. or refrigerated. Whichever
photo mag did the story agreed.
I was a little sceptical but, my experience over the years tends to bear
that out. Most modern cells will last several years without any kind of
refrigeration.
