Store and operate your batteries in a cool, dry place.
For every 18° F (10° C) rise above room temperature (77° F or 25° C), battery life decreases by 50%.
Hmm.
That page is geared toward lead / acid jars in solar applications. I would like to see some evidence to back up this claim. I operate in those conditions during the daylight hours two to three months a year.
So those batteries are in the heat zone maybe 10% of the time and maybe lose 5% on the life. (10% x 50%)
Ask those in Phoenix if heat affects battery life.
My point was that heat is not just an LFP fussy thing to deal with. All batteries have a shorter life in the heat.
