Hi...

Wonder if anyone has any experience or opinions they'd be willing to
share...

Heavily into photography, use lots of nimh's. Found some on sale at
a fantastic price a couple of weeks age. Smart charger (110/220/12)
packaged with 4 2600 aa's, and 4 1000 aaa's.

Good enough deal that I bought lots, for myself, family, and friends.

Bad news is that family and friends did too; now we have way more than
we could possibly use for the next few years.

Question then, is: How should I (we) store the unused ones for long
term storage? They're virtually discharged as shipped. Should I just
leave them still sealed up at room temperature, or in the fridge, or
perhaps even in the freezer. We need as long a shelf life as we can
get :)

Appreciate suggestions, and take care.

dont store charged ones casually, if they short out they WILL burn your home
to the ground!

I believe you're thinking of lithium-ion batteries, unless theres been some
problems with nimh batteries that I'm unaware of.
