All things equal I think batteries will last longer in a colder climate. The problem is things are not equal. Most on here are posting how long their car batteries last. My Walmart Max starting batteries for my cars last about 3-4 years in CT, but I don't maintain them like my MH batteries. I just drive and park them. My MH I recharge my 2 Sams Club 6v CG batteries when they self discharge to 95% SOC and charge the Walmart Max starting battery at the same time. I also equalize maybe 2 or 3 a year. These batteries are over 9 years old and still going strong. The colder the temps the slower the self discharge is, but I think maintenance plays a much bigger role in longevity.
