For fridge/freezer applications, I prefer the wired route, much more reliable, cheap and effective and keeps the battery outside of the cold of the fridge.. Very easy to slip the wire between the door gasket..
Keep in mind, you will be reading the AIR temps inside the fridge,
Maybe my Ebay wired thermometer was too cheap at $8. Like I wrote earlier, it was sensitive to - well, anything. Just sitting in cold temperature (wired sensor only), it was causing main unit to shut down after a few hours - this is the best scenario. Worst and more common scenario - fridge cycles on or off, the device beeps as if some set temperature was reached, and set temp resets to default 70 - but you can't see this because readings reset to gibberish 888 or shut down completely and won't turn On until you press the Off/On button for a few seconds. Very annoying. Oddly, when sitting in the cupboard between uses, it is quite happy.
I usually tuck that sharp wired sensor under some massive cold item, to avoid erroneous air readings.
