Here's a link to the article that mentions storage in a home freezer: http://www.tmenet.com/pdf/LithiumBatterySecrets.doc.pdf

I don't do it for any packs except those that I know won't be used for months at a time. It is easier than checking them every so often over the winter (which I would probably forget to do).

A few years ago I had some 4S ProMatch packs and I gave Jeff (ProMatch owner) a link to the article and asked if it would be good to store them in the freezer over the winter. He said yes.
