You're probably aware that your car's battery is more likely to die during a hot summer or a cold winter, but it turns out that there are some reasons for that. If a car battery is heated up too much in the summer, some of its electrolytes could actually evaporate. This can irreversibly lower the battery's lifespan unless the electrolyte is recharged.
