I was thinking that would make a good video. I could have a camcorder pointed at the ammeter and all the volt meters. Then the viewer could watch how all the batteries react under load.

Temperature of batteries shouldn't be an issue in the summer. We have pretty nice weather right now. I drive around with my windows down. I doubt there is much difference between the batteries in the back seat versus the one under the hood.
