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?

    Batteries only seem to last 5 or 6 years in the cold Northeast winters.

    I think most batteries only seem to last 5 or 6 years period.
