  Where's the case?[0] I also don't see the point of lowering the temperature of a plastic battery lid. It's an insulator. I guess it would keep dust off it, though.

    The lid was so they can concisely communicate to the average viewer that we're looking at components for a battery.

    (spoilers, and partly replying to your earlier comment above): It's shown here because part of the storyline requires getting a car. The story specifically has him with a car available, but no battery which he has trouble getting. Just before this scene, he is told there is a car he can use, but of course he opens the bonnet and there is no battery installed (or, it's just the case, I can't remember). As to why the lid should be in the fridge? My real-world guess is so all the bits are in one place, but the real reason is likely because the audience will more easily recognize the top of a battery over just seeing the chemicals.

      Fair enough. And nice explanation. Thanks.

    The top of the case is right there. The rest of it is just a plastic container and doesn't need to be in a fridge.

    I pulled this image from a random blog about the episode. The episode itself has better shots of the components
