Wherever did you hear that nonsense? That's a big load of crap. Batteries are best stored in a FRIDGE, but that's for long term storage. There's no recommendation I have ever seen for Li-on batteries that recommends placing your battery in the freezer, which would shorten the battery life. Bad advice you just gave him...really bad...you should be more careful when posting bad information like this. In trying to help...you will only help him kill his battery.

Read below --

"Store batteries properly. If your battery will be out of use for a while, disconnect it from the phone and store it in a cool and dry but not freezing place (an airtight container in a refrigerator, but not a freezer). Don't keep it with metal objects that might move around and short-circuit the terminals. Lithium ion batteries are not rated to operate at refrigerated temperatures, so let the battery sit outside the refrigerator for at least an hour before using it again. Lithium ion batteries oxidize least when they are stored at 40% charge. Never store a lithium battery at low voltage. Recharge batteries after storage."
