why do people put batteries in the refridigator?

Answer 1

cuz they're morons and they like to smoke

Answer 2

Old wive's tail. They believe the batteries will last longer if kept cool in the fridge. Thing is, dry cell battery storage works about the same as it does for wet cell batteries. I've never seen any battery being stored cold in any business which sells them. If it did make a difference, you'd think they'd be the first to do it, just like a grocery store selling veggies. And what is the effect of a cold winter morning on a car battery? Bad, and the same goes for refrigerating any other battery.

Answer 3

How to Care for Your Batteries"

By Bryan Noonan


Store properly. Keep your batteries in a cool, dry place. The refrigerator is cool, but not dry. You could store your batteries in the refrigerator and maximize their life by using a silica gel to keep the batteries dry. This however, is an expensive and inconvenient option.

Answer 4

I don't know what kind of ghetto *** refigerators you and your friends have, but my refigerator just plugs into the wall. It does not need any batteries. Lame-o.

Answer 5

It keeps them fresh longer, seriously, I'm not being a smartass, that's the truth. They won't go dead as fast.

Answer 6

It's done in a misguided attempt to recharge them. It can however increase their shelf-life.

Answer 7

Good question, and who knows. I just stick film in the fridge.

Answer 8

Their suppossed to last longer

Answer 9

They think it makes them last longer......I think they are just crazy.
