Is this true for all types of batteries ?

One takes it that there is a passive degradation caused by chemical reaction regardless of use and therefore a shorter shelf life over a sufficiently long period of time?

How does cold affect the life span ? Unless it is a temporary effect in that the chemical reaction ceases completely.

(Battery operated equipment have shorter operation use in winter.)

Yes, it slows down the chemicle reactions that cause them to internaly discharge. btw, all batteries have some internal res that will deplete them over time.
Limmit is,, do not freez them. -32 Deg. F.

Yes this works for me, keeping batteries help their life if unused for a period of time. Although they can lose their strength if they are left in the fridge for months. By being put into refrigerators, they are cool and dry. If kept out, the humidity and the warmth, it can have a tendency to rust and the acid could leak out of the battery and cause a shorter life span.

Chemical reactions are more rapid at higher temperatures. Storing batterias cold slows down reactions that drains them. I'm not aware of any batteries that are exceptions to this.

But yet I was told with my camcorder battery that it will deplete quicker in the cold. Also my cousin said his flashlight batteries froze and burst in his car. Is there a limit to how cold they can get?

heat evaporates and also causes corrosion.yes.
