Seen some videos and read in different forums that people have tried this and had results. Basically it consists of putting your laptop battery in the freezer for about 12-15 hours. After it "defrosts" and is back to room temp, it should last longer. I trust advise from this site and hold its credibility higher than any other. Your thoughts on this method and what kinda damage if any should I be aware of should I attempt this and also if it would be worth a shot at all.

It is my opinion that it will only subject your freezer to possible contamination.
I have worked in the computer industry for years. The only possible reason to cool a battery it to try to charge it faster and that is not advised unless some test or controlled setup.
"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Thanks. I don't think I will trying this out anytime soon. I think I'll adapt to hanging by a/c outlets should things go south as far as batter life. . .
