From the information I have read, there is no great benefit in discharging your battery completely every time. Apparently, as long as you don't recharge your battery when it gets to the same level of discharge,(this produces the so-called memory effect in some types of battery) you will have the same battery life as when you completely discharge it. Check your battery type, if it's a Lithium type, there is no memory effect at all, even if you just continually top it up. Never heard of any benefits of putting your battery in the freezer.
