keeping them in the fridge is not helpful at all. It may actually harm them more then help due to the moisture. Those batteries are lithium so their self discharge rate is about 5% in ten years. I work at batteries plus, about time i get to use this random knowledge of mine.

I've got battery back up games with CR2032s in them. The games are nearly 15 years old in some instances and they are still holding a charge.
