[QUOTE="George Berta, post: 844630, member: 67355"] I lived in FL for over 20yrs.The heat causes the battery fluids to evaporate-why you should check the water more often in the summer.Heat can also cause chemical reactions to occur at a higher rate.Both can cause internal cells to fail.My understanding from my Ford dealer was that they shave 3 or more yrs off a battery life span when it stays in warm climates like Fl,Ga,Ar,Ca and others.I always have tried to get a battery suitable to the area.Die Hards and Motorcraft have heat rsistant batteries.But, I have only seen the Die Hard southern battery.
