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.


Could storing dead batteries in the freezer cause batteries to work for a short time?

No. If you took two batteries that were dead. Placed one in the freezer and one on a shelf. Waited a day and then took both of them out and put in a flash light. Both would show some life for a time and both would die about the same time. Its the chemical reaction that makes this happen not the cold. If you store good batteries in a cold area they are less likely to loose their charge than if you keep them in a warm drawer.
