A battery is a chemical process which slows down when when the temperature
is reduced. Assuming the same dry environment a cold battery should leak
its charge much slower than a warm battery. Freezing the battery is
probably not a good idea due to expansion/contraction of materials that
change state which could damage the physical structure of the battery.
