When I was a kid my neighbour would put his NES games in the freezer because he thought it made them more reliable (actually caused by dirty/worn contacts on the socket).

The same guy used to think that tapping your finger 3 times on a can of Coca-Cola will prevent it from exploding when you open it.

Some people like to find a "secret knowledge" in any circumstances.

For batteries, my experience is same as yours, I know 2 people who left their phone in the car overnight during sub-zero temperatures, and their battery life was not good after that. It seems like the cold really has a negative effect on them. Too bad their had an iPhone and can't change the battery.
