As temperatures rise during the summer months, the heat takes a toll on car batteries, making them more susceptible to damage.

"The heat is far more detrimental to a new car battery than is the cold," Dispatch Manager at AAA Western and Central New York Dan Fisher said. "A lot of times batteries fail in the winter because of what summer put them through."
