Researchers want to determine the best temperatures for storing batteries. Describe a possible experiment and list the variables to be controlled in the experiment. Be sure to identify the manipulated and the responding variables.

How about putting one battery in the freezer while putting another by a radiator or something that gives off heat. Leave them for an hour, then place them in an object that uses batteries and time how long it takes for it to die: Note: It may take many hours for the battery to fully deplete.
