No....batteries do not regain power by placing them in the freezer. The only good that comes by storing batteries in the freezer is that the lifespan of the battery is increased but only by a very small percentage. (less than 2% longer lifespan)

Is it true that batteries and will keep their charge longer if they are kept in a refrigerator or freezer?
Placing batteries in the freezer will likely damage them.
Does the cold drain power out of batteries?
Depends... What KIND of batteries? Car batteries IDK cause I don't drive. But I know for regular like the batteries that you put into toys or whatever helps. Especially if you put them in the freezer. Hope this kinda helped. :DD
Does the old school freezer trick work for restoring dead or dying rechargable batteries?
The old school freezer trick will not work but for a small time to restore dying or dead batteries. It is best to replace the batteries.
Could storing dead batteries in the freezer cause the batteries to work for a short while?
I dont know the answer
How many batteries do you need to run a deep freezer on a 2000 watt inverter?
2/12volts batteries
What is the science behind storing batteries in the freezer?
A cooler chemical is a little less likely to undergo chemical changes. Power cells, or batteries use chemical changes. Therefore, power cells or batteries are less likely to undergo chemical changes, including "wearing out" in the refrigerator. This is not of much concern with lithiums, but it is with the good ol' flashlight cells.
Can alkaline batteries be charged in the freezer?
NO, putting batteries in the freezer will not charge them. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%. And cold batteries can't be used immediately -- you have to wait until they've warmed up to room temperature first. If you need those batteries for a flashlight in an emergency, this could prove problematic. When stored at room temperature, alkaline batteries retain 90% of their power, and the average shelf life of alkaline batteries is five to seven years. For NiMH and Nicad batteries (often used for electronics), storing them in the freezer might be more practical. These kinds of batteries lose their charge after a few days when kept at room temperature. But they'll retain a 90% charge for months if you store them in the freezer. Just like alkaline batteries, you'll need to wait until they've warmed up before using them. However, this isn't a problem when you need new batteries for your digital camera or other electronic gadget. Battery manufacturers tend to agree. Kodak says "refrigeration is not necessary, nor is it recommended" and "freezing is not recommended" for its alkaline batteries. Duracell advises: "Do not refrigerate Duracell batteries. This will not make them last longer." Both recommend storing batteries in a cool, dry place.
Does keeping batteries in the freezer work?
We searched on "batteries freezer" and also looked at several battery manufacturer's web sites to find the answer to this question. The search results led to a very detailed frequently asked questions (FAQ) page about AA and AAA cell batteries, as well as its related battery myths page that provided a plethora of information about batteries. According to these sources, storing batteries in the freezer (or refrigerator) will make them last longer, but it depends on what kind of battery you're using. And in the long run, it may not be worth the hassle. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%.

Is it true that putting cassette tapes in the freezer revitalises them?
No, putting cassette tapes in the freezer will not revitalize them. This will damage the tapes. However, putting batteries into the freezer will revitalize the battery charge.
