We've heard that storing batteries in the fridge makes them last longer. Many people have said that alkaline batteries stored in the fridge actually prolongs battery life. But before you start store you Alkaline Apple laptop battery, there are some things you should know. Is this true? Belowe the expert Jack Smith from http://www.battery4.us explain the reason.
Many people, especially photographers, tried to reduce the Apple Macbook Pro batteries mercury aging course when not in use by storing at cooler temperatures.
Finally, it was discovered that the fridge was a great place to do this. Then in the 80's, the U.S. government banned the sale of mercury batteries due to health concerns. Since then, alkaline batteries have replaced most mercury cells once dominant. Alkaline Compaq presario f500 battery do not get the same benefits of cold storage as do mercury cells.
Most battery manufacturers still suggest store their cells at room temperature or slightly below. Most people can get by with storing alkaline batteries in a jar in a closet. The same way to Rechargeable batteries. But be careful do not to store Compaq presario f700 battery for long periods without regular charge. Rechargeable batteries are stored for a long time without being charged have a tendency to run very quickly. The battery cell activity can be reduce in the low temperature, so store in a cool place can prolong the battery life in some ways.
Battery life can be extended by storing the batteries at a low temperature, as in a refrigerator or freezer, which slows the chemical reactions in the Compaq presario cq40 battery . Such storage can extend the life of alkaline batteries by about 5%, while the charge of rechargeable batteries can be extended from a few days up to several months. To reach their maximum voltage, batteries must be returned to room temperature; discharging an alkaline battery at 250 mAh at 0°C is only half as efficient as it is at 20°C. As a result, alkaline battery manufacturers like Duracell do not recommend refrigerating or freezing batteries
As far as I know, the temperature more hot , the battery cell more active. So we also heard that: someone's laptop battery explode after long time working or in hot temperature. Now If your Compaq presario cq60 battery not be used in a long period, you can store it in your fridge.
