Back in the day the serious RC car racers stored NiMH cells in the freezer.
The idea was to make sure the cell was as cold as possible to pack in capacity
before the charging process raised the internal cell temperature. The theory
was that a cold cell had less internal resistance than a warm/hot cell.
Since battery life was not a factor, we never gave any thought to extending
the cell life. We replaced all our batteries yearly anyway to stay competitive.

Never heard of such a thing
If true I wonder at what cost the extended life comes... Reduced output
voltage, decreased capacity etc?Sent via BlackBerry from T-MobileFrom:

[TANKS] freezing your batteries
i keep forgetting to post about this the other day on the news on Money Talks
they were talking about how freezing your metal/nickel (or something) batteries
when you first get them (new) it will increase their life span by as much as
2x's. anyone else know or heard about this? just thought it might something of
interest to those that use them chris--
