Can refrigerating small flashlight and hearing aid batteries extend their life???
When they are cold they dont seem to last as long when you are using them. If you use any electronics in cold weather, ie below zero you will notice a drop in the the battery life. The key is to keep them cool, not really cold. So if you live where your home does nto get about 70 degrees or so that is fine, but dont store int eh garage if it hits 90+. Also you want to keep them dry. If they get moist, they will start to corrode, and that will damage what ever you put them in. Also it will take away the charge as well. So if you do want to keep them in the fridge (I have some in mine with my film) do what I do. Use those things you find in the vitamins and such, that help to keep it dry in it, and add them to the bag with your batteries. I also keep a dry papertowel in there as well. (the ones in the fridge are my spares, as the boys know to not touch my film bag, so any batteries in there are safe from them). They ones I keep in the house in a battery holder, is fair game for all… Al
