Aconsumer wanted to compare two types of battery storage. one type is refrigerated and the other is room temperature. it is a common belief that refrigerated batteries last longer. this belief is tested by placing 10 fully dash charged batteries into each type of storage and then measuring the percentage of charge remaining after thirty days. a coin flip was used to determine which type of storage each battery would be placed in first. results indicated that there was no difference in the two types of storage.
