What can't stand the heat?
Was kann Hitze nicht aushalten?

What you may not know

Cold is not the only thing that can affect your car: high temperatures can also play havoc, not only with the battery but also with the fuel and the engine itself (as there is more water vapour and the air is less dense (meaning it contains less oxygen). Batteries in general, whether in cars or in smaller devices, do not do well with extremes of temperature, but it is important to remember that electronics do not mix well either (metals expand and plastics melt). So whatever electronic devices you have may suffer with even a little extra heat; think about keeping these in cooler areas or at least in the shade:

• laptops
• mobile phones (which heat up too fast, it often seems, anyway!)
• watches (especially smart watches)
• Kindles and other e-books

Don't forget that even if it's not especially hot, a car left in the sun can quickly heat up so that the inside temperature can be over 40 degrees in under an hour - any electronics left in a car can be badly affected by this.
