Does hot weather affect battery performance?
I have four 12 volt lead acid deep cycle batteries in a vented metal box on the tongue of my Toy Hauler. We recently have gone through several days of 100 degree temps. Made me start thinking about...

Thanks for all the input. I guess I was thinking short term damage from excessive heat as last week I was parked in direct sunlight for 8 days of near or 100 degrees. Which was great for solar.
Your right here in the pacific northwest triple digits is not very common and when my Rig is not being used it is parked in a Covered RV Port.
Not likely that I will move the batteries inside as the batteries have to vent.
Batteries are doing well at 4 years of age so maybe heat in my case is not a big deal.
Next year when I upgrade the batteries to flooded 6 volts I will go with a larger battery box for more air space.
