- JGF 2013/01/26 19:02:22None of the aboveCold slows down any chemical reaction, including those in batteries. Warm them up again and they're fine. (When you buy packs of batteries, store the unused ones in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator, they'll keep longer.)reply

reply - Dickens 2013/01/26 05:40:44 (edited)yes+1...actually, I just found that out the hard way when I left my phone in my car overnight during the recent cold spell...it used to last 3 or 4 weeks between charges, now it lasts maybe 2 days..I think it's the lithium batteries that die in the cold; alkaline batteries in my car flashlight still work fine...reply

- Robbb 2013/01/26 03:20:19yes+1Yes, and did you know that if your battery goes flat in the cold you can temporarily re-energise it by carefully removing the acid from it (very carefully, that stuff is really corrosive) heating it up and replacing it back into the battery?reply
