Likewise, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries have very low discharge rates of about 2% per year at room temperature. Putting these batteries in the freezer will have more negative potential effects than positive.

I'm sure it is an old husband's tale. (As opposed to the opposite sex tale). I have always kept a stock of AA, AAA, C and D batteries on hand in the freezer.

They come in handy during a power failure.
