Chemical reactions... including the ones that take place in batteries that make them lose their charge... go slower at lower temperatures. There's an equation called the Arrhenius equation that will tell you exactly how much slower, but as a rough guideline, around normal room temperature ten degrees Celsius difference in temperature is typically about a factor of two difference in speed.

It doesn't help at all, in fact the condensation can result in damage to the battery.

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.
