Huh? What are you trying to say here. I think it was: "It seems quite ironic that batteries in the freezer/fridge last longer, while batteries running in a hot environment do not. You'd think the opposite". This is a quirk with NICad based batteries, which include NIMH. They are actually more powerful cold than hot. Also, they tend to "bleed" power faster the warmer they are. And putting them in a cold environment can accelerate the breakdown of crystals which form in them over time.
