Cognitive skills are lacking it seems. You stated as fact, "that the heat is killing batteries" based on replacing the batteries in roughly 4% of the approximately 7800 vehicles you saw in a decade. Yet have no actual knowledge of the specific reasons said batteries died. Sounds more like a parts changer then a skilled mechanic...it's hot and your battery died...so it must be the heat.XJThrottle wrote: ↑February 27th, 2019, 3:02 pm If 4% of my farts require an underwear change, that's a problem.
4% of a year is roughly 14 days. If your car didn't start 14 days out of every year because the battery was dead, you'd be cool with that?
If that's a passing grade for you Steve, so be it.
Beyond that if "heat killed batteries" as much as you claim it does why didn't the other 7500 vehicles need their battery replaced? There is what, a million vehicles in Phoenix and yet a million batteries are not getting replaced each year. Obviously the heat is not the over riding factor in a battery dying.
I provided just one example of how a perfectly good battery in a vehicle with a correctly functioning charging system could be killed in just a few months and it had zero to do with the heat.
I even pointed out that in CA I live in an area that gets hotter and for longer periods of time then Phoenix does yet we don't have an epidemic of dead batteries. When according to your logic(?) we should see even more dead batteries here. Yet I have had over 15 vehicles (up to 5 at a time) over the 34 years we have lived in the desert and the only battery that didn't last 4 or more years was due to the exact example I gave.
