indicate a cell failure or short. Verify the voltage readings from each battery, and perform a load test to identity any cell failures.

WHAT DO I DO IF THE BATTERY  IS FROZEN?  
Discover Dry Cell batteries can be stored in sub-freezing temperatures as low as 35 °C / -31°F  as long as they are fully charged prior 
to storage. The self-discharge rate of fully-charged batteries is very low in these conditions and they will not require charging for 
many months. However, if your batteries do freeze, they may not always recover. To attempt recovery bring them inside and let them 
sit until the temperature of the battery reaches the temperature of the room, approx. 20°C / 68°F, then charge the batteries normally. 
You may have to cycle the battery a couple of times before making a decision on its final condition.
