    Y'all southern boys and girls need to remember that its HOT where y'all live. We don't have heat like y'all do we can't fry an egg in the shade.

    heat doesnt effect battery life. COLD effects battery life. makin the engine do those deep cold cranks all winter long takes a big toll on the life of a battery. i was a yankee before a rebel mind you all.
