Hi all,I have gotten an explanation about putting a battey in the fridge before rechargeing,it seems many newer chargers have electronic senseing,so as an example,battery's in contractors tools left out in a hot truck,the charger misreads the high temperature as a short, and so will misread the battery as bad,chilling the battery first only allows an accurate reading of the battey by the recharger, but does not actually do anything to fix a bad battery,it simply aids in rechargeing a good one. but its a useful trick to have. best wishes
A lot of modern built in battery chargers sense the battery temperature and adjust the charging current to limit the maximum battery temperature. This provides the fastest battery charging time without risk of damaging the battery. Cooling the battery first might shortening the actual charging time but you have the additional time in the fridge. Charging the battery in the fridge might provide the shortest charge time but that's getting silly.
