Honda Developing New Safety Technology
Car batteries have a lifespan of about three to five years. Lead acid batteries like these are designed to operate at temperatures around 77 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature rises to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, the battery's capacity goes up. On the other hand, such extreme heat shortens the lifespan of the battery.
Extreme cold is also bad news for your car's battery. When the temperature reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the lead acid battery's capacity has declined by 20 percent from its peak power. At temperatures of -22 degrees Fahrenheit, the battery loses half of its power.
