Refrigerating batteries?

[Macgyverfan3]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried keeping their batteries in the fridge or some other cool place.
The reason I bring it up is because I left my Blu's in the car the other day, and living in North Dakota that means subzero temperatures; and when I went to use it the thing worked even better than my 510. I know that with certain things, such as aerosol cans, keeping it cold makes it function better. Plus alkaline batteries could be stored in the freezer and maintain it's charge just fine. I'm only asking because I really don't feel like throwing out some more cash on batteries in the case that refrigerating them will break them.

well if they are working fine i dont see why you should have to buy a new one. but with that said i also see no reason for them to actually be kept in a fridge. just keep using them and if there is no problems then your good.

They are working fine it's just that when the batteries were cold the amount of vapor I got from the pv was amazing especially since the cart was almost empty. I mean if the cold doesn't degrade the life of the battery then I'll prob keep them refrigerated all the time.
