If they were fully charged when you put them away, they should be fine. They will loose their charge over time but it should not hurt them.

Where should batteries be stored in the home?

Batteries should probably be kept in a drawer or probably in a small box.


If you charge your cell phone too frequently does the battery drain faster?

Cell phones with lithium polymer or lithium-ion batteries actually have better overall battery life if kept charged. Top it off every night. The old rules do not apply to the new batteries. In fact, discharging them completely will shorten the life. Keep it cool. Heat destroys rechargeable batteries, and lithium ion worst of all. (Non-rechargeable lithium, on the other hand, has high heat resistance. Go figure.) Expect your phone battery to lose about 20% of its capacity per year, regardless of how well you take care of it. It's the nature of the beast, even if unused. The same applies to computer batteries. If you are going to use the computer extensively while plugged in -- as, say, a desktop replacement -- consider removing the battery to protect it from unnecessary exposure to the high temperatures.

Should batteries be kept in the freezer or at room temperature which is right?

They must be keep at room temperature, it's a bad idea to put the into a freezer.


Is it bad to leave your cell phone in when battery fully charged?

All rechargeable batteries such as cell phones, cordless phones, laptop computers, etc., need to be allowed to fully discharge and then recharge to full power to prevent them from acquiring a "memory". If they are always kept at full charge, then it will actually shorten the battery life, making the time between re-charging shorter.


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.


Where should a solar battery be stored?

Solar batteries should be stored in a cool dry place. This also extends the life of the battery. Batteries can also be stored in plastic battery storage containers. Keep in mind the storage area should be kept at or above 40 degrees to avoid capacity loss.


Why do some types of batteries stay fresh longer of they are kept in a refrigerator?

Cooling lowers the rate of the chemical reaction in the batteries.

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.
