I am also worried about condensation forming on the inside of the packs when they warm up. Am I over reacting?
Thanks

I was a told a long time ago to never let them get too close to freezing temps. Never heard about the fridge thing. Check with someone at SMC or Thunderpower and they should be able to answer this. Curious myself now.
