I think they *can* be frozen. One of the tricks to preserve nicads (when, 
say, you bought a batch which aren't all going to be used immediately) is 
to keep them in the deep-freezer. Not sure if you store them charged or
discharged; I think its discharged.

Others on the list will probably know more about this.
