Do you store lithium batteries in the fridge?

According to the graph below storing lithium batteries at higher temperatures hastens their death. Storing lithium batteries in the fridge seems like a bizarre idea, but according to the graph the fridge provides near optimal storage conditions. I've never done it before but now with the release of DSi CFW I'm starting to regret not storing my DSi in the fridge.

No, because I don't own a fridge (my parents do, you know what this means) I have better things to do than to spend energy (to mantain such cold) on squeezing a little more out of something that can be replaced by the eBay/<20 dollar/1 month shipping combo, often even for 20 year old products

Wonder how many people will drop the stored charge by holding them at lower temperatures and thus go into deep discharge instead via quiescent current or something.

Anyway no, never considered it really. Far easier just to top up the charge and replace when it becomes unworkable for my purposes.

Nah, I don't want my systems to ''freeze'' over it.

I gotta let go these shitty puns I know

So now we need warnings of people storing them in the fridge? I think a explosion and leaking warning is enough.

I used to store my AAA batteries in the fridge to get some extra juice out of them for my gameboy, never really worked dunno why I did it but can't be the only one who's tried.

Nope, never. Mostly because I don't have stuff with removable batteries but my DS. My DS battery is still perfectly fine.

When you are single and don't buy a lot of food, you should definitely put everything you can in the fridge. It helps keep the electricity bill lower since there is more stuff absorbing the cold temperature or whatever and the fridge doesn't have to work as hard to keep itself cold. I also put all my laundry in the freezer to help kill smells. It's a two-for-one deal!

Go stick your batteries in an environment where moisture condenses on bottles and other food items.
Splendid idea OP, splendid!.
