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 suspect temps do have something to do with it. Since moving to Oregon, batteries lasted longer than in montana.
So, on my 2004 Silverado factory batteries 10 years, 125K miles
97 Mercedes E420 factory battery 12 years, 100K miles
97 mercedes SL500 factory battery 13 years 80K mile
