Yes. Do not freeze your batteries. Check out this page from Energizer:

They confirm that the cold, damp air of the refrigerator/freezer shortens the life and actually damages the battery itself. An airtight bag might help, though.

if they stay in there for too long then i think they will...but i used to do that except i didnt put them in the freezer...i would put them in the refrigerator, which supposedly would recharge the batteries...i dont know if its tru though, but the batteries would have a little more energy in them the next day

I have kept batteries in the freezer for a long time. It doesn't seem to hurt them, as long as they are just plain old alkaline or NiCad, etc. Seems to slow down their loss of charge. 'Course, I'm not an expert on this stuff, soooooo........

It probably will not ruin them. But I can tell you that it doesn't make them work better after being used. :)
