Why Car Batteries Die Suddenly in Dubai Heat & How to Test Before Failure

Few things are more frustrating than entering your car after a long workday in Dubai, pressing the ignition button, and hearing only a faint click. While winter cold reduces battery cranking power, it is extreme under-hood summer heat (which can reach 80°C to 90°C while idling) that causes internal plate corrosion and premature battery death.

How 50°C Under-Hood Heat Kills Battery Electrolyte

High temperatures accelerate internal chemical reactions and cause liquid electrolyte solution to evaporate. Once the internal lead plates are exposed to air, they suffer permanent sulfation, severely crippling the battery's cold cranking amps (CCA). In the UAE, the average car battery lifespan is only 18 to 24 months.
