My BMW had the battery in the trunk and the original was still going strong when I sold it 10 years later. It was almost always garaged however.
Herm said:You are talking about 12V batteries used to start cars?.. The usual practice of placing those batteries under the hood, next to a hot engine plus the Arizona heat is lethal to battery life.. some cars place the battery under the hood but in a separate compartment, or someplace else in the car.. those cars get much better results.
