Just a thought on storing batteries for yourself... would freezing the battery be bad? If you can freeze the cells, you'd stop the chemical reaction, or at least slow it down very greatly, so it will in theory discharge very slowly or not at all. Then thaw it and use or charge it. Bad idea? I'm not going to attempt this, I just thought of it because of chemical reactions being slowed in colder climates.
