Six years ago I put a pair of batteries in the engine room of my bus, right beside the muffler, the first one failed a year ago, I replaced them both this year. The house batts are 6 X 6 Volt golf cart batts that are now 8 years old and they are doing ok.
The engine batts were Northern a Canadian manufacture, the house batts are Exides. Have been happy with these brands.

South parts short life, north parts double(and more) life. Which of course relates to temperature. I know that when it's really cold, like below zero, the power that can be drawn off from a battery is much lower, but I did not know hot places kill batteries faster. Max
