Does extreme heat in Pakistan cause early battery failure in Jeep Cherokee?

I’m from Karachi, and the summers here are brutal. My 2015 Jeep Cherokee has gone through two batteries in under two years. The most recent one just died again, and I’m wondering if the heat is the main cause. Are there specific battery brands o r maintenance tips suited for the Pakistani climate to help avoid early failure?

Yes — the high temperatures in cities like Karachi, Multan, and Bahawalpur can significantly reduce your battery’s lifespan, especially in imported vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee.

🔥 How Heat Affects Batteries:

Heat causes the battery fluid to evaporate, damaging internal plates.

Overcharging from a faulty alternator worsens the effect.

Pakistan’s stop-and-go traffic increases engine bay heat and battery load.

✅ Solutions:

Use batteries designed for hot climates – look for brands like AGS, Exide Extreme, Phoenix UGS, o r Amaron imported.

Prefer sealed maintenance-free batteries SMF with heat resistance.

Check battery water levels if not SMF monthly during summer.

Park in the shade o r use a car cover to reduce engine bay temperature.

Have your charging system checked — overcharging is just as bad as undercharging.

🔋 Pro tip: Batteries usually last 1.5–2 years in Pakistani heat, less if your Cherokee has many power-hungry electronics.
