I have a pack of Streamlight CR123A 3V Lithiums.
I store all the regular batteries in the spare fridge cause it suppossedly extends their life. Are their any hazards to storing these types of batteries cold, or am I just paranoid? My only past experience has been with regular alkaline batteries. Thanks in advance. |

Dont store them in the fridge. It does nothing.

Lithium batteries have a long shelf life at room temperature - probably long enough to not matter for most consumers. However, that shelf life is roughly doubled by storing them at 32 degrees F. For preppers and other folks who may be storing 'em for several decades, that's a huge difference. |
