Must be an attached garage. My detached garage gets over 130F in the Texas summer.

My wife’s and my car batteries generally don’t last more than three years here.

This happened to me as well after about a year and a half. I upgraded to a yellow top optima battery. Came with 3-year warranty from auto zone and holds much more power than the OEM.
