I am doing a science fair project on how temperature affects run time of 
alkaline batteries. I found a response on your website about heat and cold 
affecting batteries.  What extreme temps were used and how did you come to your 
conclusion?  I will enter the info on my research report.  I tested at 52 
degrees, 73 degrees and 90 degrees.  Thank you!!  Daniel Chapman
