Well I know all of our cars/trucks now have a little insulation blanket
around the battery. I'm assuming that's to protect the battery from the
heat in the engine compartment. I suspect that the sustained temperature
during operation is the issue, but I don't really know. Heat cycling is
probably different from sustained heat, but I would want to see the tests.

I know that heat is bad for batts. Some manufacturers even have a
life spec related to heat. This ad was talking about the climate your
car battery lives in. I am just curious if that is a true number.
Like the average temperature versus average life of a car batt.

Maybe if sustained? It's an ad Chuck. Distort the representation of a
fact to support your argument.

Not sure if this is correct as it was stated in an ad for a battery
regenerator, but they claim that for every 8.4 deg C increase, a lead
acid battery's life is cut in half.�
