I think he confused cold with nicads instead of alkalines. I have
kept alkalines in the refrig for years, many times years beyond their

nicads however.

Alas, apparently this well-meant advice is exactly backwards. Nicads benefit
somewhat from the freezer, alkalines (as a practical matter) do not.
