Should I store batteries I don't use in the fridge or freezer? I have a backup laptop battery for instance.
maximum lifetime is obtained when you store them at around 66% charge at 4C, which is the temperature of your fridge, take them out ever few months and charge them, you can get less than 1% capacity degradation a year.
