    Every battery I’ve put in this car has died young and I’m starting to think it’s the heat rather than bad luck. Two AGMs in four years, both failed in the summer, and the shop keeps telling me that’s just how it is here. A friend swears by gel batteries and says they cope with high temperatures much better, but I’m not convinced he knows more than the sticker on the box. I’m trying to find an honest comparison rather than marketing talk, and I came across a Quality gel vs AGM battery comparison from Varta in Dubai which addressed heat tolerance directly, something most of the pages I’d read completely ignored. It made a reasonable case but I’d rather hear from people who’ve actually run gel batteries through a few summers here. Did yours last noticeably longer than AGM or is the difference exaggerated?
