Heat kills batteries. Especially if the battery used recycled Pb instead of virgin metal. Sulfated plates, shorted out plates, etc ect.


In phoenix, the most I can get out of a battery is two years ( I should note lead acid batteries). Even German oem batteries in diesel application. I average 1 year or so on the autozone. A little bit longer on the Costco Interstate. The best I have used have been the Optima red top AGM with the spiral cells. However, they cost about 3 times as much as an Interstate battery.
