So -- when you need to use a drill, its battery is both cold _AND_
discharged.

I wonder why no one else has ever come up with this Grand Idea?

I don't know, I do know that I learned that trick from my
grandmother. She used to store the dry cells in the frig..

I learned that cold slows things down! including me !
