Does it harm rechargeable batteries to let them freeze over the winter?

it's worked for me. Last cordless drill both battery packs stopped taking a charge in the middle of a job. Whacked them both in the freezer for an hour or so whilst I did other things and had lunch. They both took a charge again and kept going for at least six months until I sold that drill to cash convertors.
Current drill has one battery that on occasions refuses to take a charge, it's been sent to the freezer a few times now and it takes a charge again. I've no doubt that it's only a temporary fix and that it signals the end of the battery pack but I've managed to squeeze another year out of that batttery. I'm also sure that not all batteries will respond and that possibly frequency of usage will have an impact also. Generally my cordless gets used for 10 hours or more a week. I'm sure that this is better for a battery than infrequent use.

Will the frost harm violas?
No, the frost will not harm violas. They will not bloom in the winter but they will survive the frost.
What keeps draining the charge out of your battery?
Apart form normal use of the battery, it is possible that the battery is getting old. Most types of rechargeable battery become less able to hold a charge as they age or may indeed have a finite number of times that they can be recharged. This will happen to phone batteries and to car batteries. When this happens you need a new battery and make sure that you dispose of the old battery properly (they contain chemicals that harm the environment).
Will cheap batteries harm my digital camera?
No, but they will not last as long, and because of this, in most cases it's actually "cheaper" to buy reliable brands of batteries.
Can I use regular batteries in a digital camera that takes rechargable batteries?
Yes you can. Just don't mix the normal batteries with the rechargable batteries because these are two different kinds of batteries and mixing them might cause harm to your device. Only use one or the other.Also look at your instruction manual for use of the camera and if it clearly says don't use regular batteries then follow their advice.
Can you increase the mAh of rechargeable batteries without causing harm to the motor they power In this case 2 x 1.2v AA 1600mHa increased to 2400mHa for hair clippers?
One option is to purchase rechargeable batteries that have a larger capacity. Rechargeable batteries that come with 2400mAh of capacity have a larger capacity because of their material properties. Increasing a batteries capacity would require chemical or mechanical alteration of the battery which can be very dangerous.You may also increase the capacity of any battery by wiring it in parallel with another battery of the same voltage. In other words, connect the negative terminal of one to the negative terminal of the other, the positive terminal of one to the positive terminal of the other, and then connect both positives to the positive input of your device and both negatives to the negative side of your device.Hi 720 & thank you for taking time to answer my question.Having read your answer I can see that my question was somewhat poorly written.What I should of asked was can I replace the rechargeable 1600mAh batteries that were supplied in a pair of hair clippers with 2400mAh batteries without causing any harm.My concern being that the motor could possibly draw too much current and overheat or something along those lines.Regards dm7Ah, yes, if you keep the same voltage your circuits should not have any problems. Since the circuit load doesn't change and the input voltage is the same, there's no risk of drawing anything other than normal current! Ohms law tells us this: V=IZ or I=V/Z where Z is the impedance of your electronic device, I is the current, and V is the battery voltage. Capacity does not even come into play!-Sumguy720PS: I use batteries of different capacities in my digital camera all the time!That's great & thanks, I will leave mixing compounds to the experts and buy ready made batteries in the morning - dm7
Will using 2.4 V DC battery for your shaver with rated voltage of 3V harm your shaver?
No, it will not harm your shaver. However, it is a small possiblity that your shaver will rotate slower than when using 3V batteries.
