There are many factors that affect how long your battery will last. One of those factors is the weather. Both extremely hot and cold weather can have a negative impact on the health of your battery. Hot weather can cause the fluid inside of your battery to evaporate. It can also overcharge the battery, which can cause it to die a lot faster. Corrosion is another side effect of hot weather.
Cold weather can make it harder for you to start your car because it reduces the capacity of the battery. It also makes the engine oil thicker, which puts even more of a strain on the battery. Additionally, it will take you longer to charge the battery if the weather is cold. It is also important to remember that your heater, defroster and windshield wipers can cause your battery to work harder.
