Can a battery last longer in hot?

Answer 1

Some types of batteries work badly in the cold, say below 45F, 8Celsius. Most batteries work well in normal room temperatures and in fairly hot conditions, but some types don't like over 100F, 39Celsius. Types? These days there are many different chemistries employed in battery manufacture, just a few are:Nickle-Cadmium, Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc(obsolete), Silver-Air, Lithium-Ion. If you need a battery that works well in very hot areas you should consult battery manufacturers.

Answer 2

Not really. It depends. I guess if you put it out in the cold, it wouldn't make a difference. if you put it in the freezer, then that's dangerous. what I'm saying is, it's doesn't matter.

According to the conclusion of a 2006 California State University Science Fair Project, "The batteries from the freezer actually lasted longer than the batteries left at room temperature. Even for short periods of time, it appears that batteries placed in the freezer can help the batteries last longer." Now, not as scientific as a clinical study but the results of these experiments preformed warrant further research.

The website Green Batteries answers the same by saying "Alkaline batteries stored at "room temperature" will retain 90% of their power for years without refrigeration. Under normal circumstances, refrigerating or freezing alkaline batteries will extend their life by less than 5%." But rechargeable batteries (specifically NiMH and Nicad) do retain their charge for longer at colder temperatures (the same 90% charge as alkaline, but only for several months) versus at room temperature.
