Batteries, particularly Duracell are not cheap.

I have several 6V Duracell batteries in storage that I use rarely and was
just curious if their shelf life could be improved with a very light float
charge to help combat the self discharge.

A quick search seems to offer keeping in them in the fridge as one method.
On face value this appears to a valid offering.

Perhaps an experiment is in order ... measure the current surface voltage
and and set an adjustable voltage supply at that value and connect.

I have 4 so perhaps I could float 2 and leave the others alone.


Thoughts?
