“I was told that operating a battery with a higher temperature reduces its durability. It is true?"

 

Batteries are electrochemical components, that is, they operate from chemical reactions inside them. Chemical reactions are extremely sensitive to temperature, so we know that any variation in temperature certainly affects their occurrence. In the case of batteries, we know that in cold conditions the battery performance drops, that is, it has a lower power supply capacity, so its characteristics are usually specified for an ambient temperature of 20º C. We can see this in the case of our car when on cold days when starting, we realize that it has “less strength” to start the starter. On the other hand, if the operating temperature is higher, on hot days, for example, the ability to give birth improves. However, battery manufacturers do not recommend that they be operated at temperatures above 27º C, because if the higher temperature increases their performance, it is also responsible for a reduction in their useful life. A battery that operates in a warm location lasts less than one that operates in a normal temperature location.
