Yes, batteries don't really store energy (energy storage is a capacitors job), they generate energy, usually through a chemical reaction. The types of chemicals selected are intended for conditions most likely to be encountered in the environment in which the battery will be used. Here on earth, under most circumstances, a temp range of 55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit would be suitable. The batteries we send into space in satellites are probably of a much different chemical composition to operate in the extreme temperatures encountered in space!

Yes, they are. Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry place. Too cold or too hot can affect performance. Batteries should also be disposed of in a proper place. The trash can is sufficient, but some people keep an empty coffee can for just batteries. They contain acid that may leak and will poison pets if eaten.

Yes, batteries work on a chemical process and chemical reactions happen faster at higher temperatures. Up to a point where the battery structure is damaged by too high a temperature.

additionally impacts TAS/Mach at altitude and, in some airplane, no count in case you could climb to a given altitude (whilst seen on the side of weight), additionally can impact section 25 2d section climb overall performance, thereby requiring much less weight, cooler temps, distinctive flap placing, and/or longer runway with a view to conform. in maximum situations, as temps improve, overall performance decreases, for oftentimes aerodynamic motives linked with air density and the era of carry.

Yes. They lose power when it gets cold. That's why car batteries are rated in Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).

I know that if a battery is running out of juice, and it's cold, you can warm it up by placing it under your armpit and get more juice out of it....something I learned in aviation survival class.

YES, in many ways. some are good and some are bad. i once read an article that explained four different scenarios , all quite interesting too

Cold will kill them all together,from a car battery to the battery in your watch

Yes, the cold temps sap your batteries.

Yes they decrease in power and life.That's why when you store battery's keep them at room temp
