No one likes a dead car battery. Usually, your car battery dies because the kids left the radio on, or you accidentally left the headlights on. Other times, your battery is just too old and can no longer hold a charge. However, another often overlooked cause of battery trouble is the hot and cold weather. The seasons can dramatically affect how your battery works.
This has been a problem with batteries since cars were invented. Luckily, auto technology has progressed to the point where it only affects us in extreme weather. Generally, if you are above 100 degrees Fahrenheit you can expect to have some trouble with your car- especially if those temperatures are sustained. The same goes for temperatures under freezing- these can stop the chemical reaction in your battery.
