Protecting Battery from High Temps Garage Cooling Advice

[Yuri_Sakazaki]

our garage temps can easily reach over 115°F in the summer. I’m considering whether a split air conditioner or a large exhaust fan could be worth the investment to keep the heat down. I know the car’s battery has a 100,000-mile warranty, but I’m curious if anyone thinks the high temps could impact long-term battery health or even the car’s overall performance. The quote for a split A/C install is around $2,000-3000. Do you think it’s worth it? Has anyone else in a hot climate made this investment for their garage, and did it help?

I wonder if an exhaust fan would help cool the car. It's a cheaper option, but the car will still get hot if you're driving it in hot weather.

Installing a split A/C in your garage is a wise investment to protect battery health long-term.

Improving your garage's insulation can help keep it cooler. Talk to an HVAC pro to figure out the best way to cool it down.
