A battery will release its charge more slowly at colder temps, so if the
temps are not too low, and the duration of storage not too long, the colder
storage temp is desirable.
I worked with battery powered mosquito light traps and used many batteries.
All the batteries were stored in a lab refrigerator (not a freezer) between
uses.
Think back to the DieHard commercials with the car on the frozen lake in the
Arctic, or at least somewhere well north of Mississippi. It "held its
charge, with the lights on, for xx hours" and then had enough charge to
start the vehicle. The battery gives up its charge more slowly as the temp
drops. A mixed blessing, but worth remembering.
