High temperatures can profoundly affect car batteries, particularly lead-acid and lithium-ion types. Understanding these effects is crucial for vehicle owners, especially in regions that experience extreme heat.
But what about the effect of summer heat on your heavy-duty battery? The fact is, that extreme heat is also detrimental to battery life. Both conventional flooded lead acid batteries and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries suffer water loss in extreme heat—and water is essential to the electrochemical process within the battery.

As routine maintenance, you should always check the battery electrolyte levels and ensure that the battery cells are always covered. Sealed and valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are designed in such a way that the gases released from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte, recombine back to form water. 3. Thermal Runaway
Both conventional flooded lead acid batteries and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries suffer water loss in extreme heat—and water is essential to the electrochemical process within the battery. Lead acid batteries function using an electrochemical process in which lead plates react with an electrolyte.
As lead acid batteries absorb high heat, chemical activity in the battery accelerates. This reduces service life at a rate of 50% for every 18°F (10°C) increase from 77°F (25°C). If a battery has a design life of six years at 77°F (25°C), and the battery spent its life at 95°F (35°C), then its delivered service life would be three years.
Contamination in sealed and VRLA batteries usually originates from the factory when the battery is being produced. In flooded lead-acid batteries, contamination can result from accumulated dirt on top of the battery and when the battery is being watered. Watering the battery with tap water has a serious consequence on the battery.
Most people know that cold weather affects battery performance. But what about the effect of summer heat on your heavy-duty battery? The fact is, that extreme heat is also detrimental to battery life.
All lead-acid batteries will naturally self-discharge, which can result in a loss of capacity from sulfation. The rate of self-discharge is most influenced by the temperature of the battery’s electrolyte and the chemistry of the plates.
