Fact or fiction about life of batteries in hot areas
Just curious...I was told yesterday that batteries in cars/trucks only last about 5 or 6 years in AZ heat. "Sitting in hot weather cooks them and shorten their lives". Fact or fiction?

I'm getting between 3 and 4 years out of auto batteries here in the hot south-west.
One exception is my 65 El Camino. I have an Odyssey battery in it and don't use much and keep a battery tender on it all the time. It's 15 years old. Still starts and runs fine.
