I'm in moderate climate, reaching 115f in summer down to freezing in the winter.

Well I'm not going to say anything about the named battery in this thread other than if you really do some research you might find some interesting info. I'm just north of you in NC and with that said if you ck my garage you will see a Deka battery in mine and it has been in there going on 3 years with no issues what so ever. I don't however push any big sound stuff and don't sit in the parking lot on a Sat night listening to the sound system which is stock. I rigged it so during the winter months when I pull in my garage the hood is popped and the batt. is hooked up to a trickle charger. Then all I do is flip a wall switch and blam, good to go. My stock battery is still on the garage floor being trickle charged. If you lived close to me I'd sell that puppy cause it just takes up space.
