How Can Climate Conditions Effect Batteries?

Our project is an analysis of the efficacy of batteries in changing temperature conditions. In a cold 38 degrees we measured the average change in charge in our batteries. We tried it again in a room temperature 70 degrees, and again in a hot 90.

Not only did we find that hot temperatures actually improved battery lifespan, but we also picked up on the fact that Duracell batteries performed the best of any battery in these hot temperatures. In other words, it’s popular for a reason!

The algorithm we ran for analysis can be opened as a webpage here. Download it and open it in your favorite browser.
