Heat and NiMH cells

If I keep some Kodak low self discharge AA cells in my car, how
would the high temperatures effect the self discharge rate of the
cells? Thank you in advance for all replies.

grimey gopher guts" I imagine my cat saying; "That sounds REALLY,
REALLY good. I'll have some of that!"

The warmer the temperature, the faster they will discharge.

Do you have any idea how much faster?

I don't understand why they make gourmet cat foods. I have
known many cats in my life and none of them were gourmets.
They were all gourmands!

That's a tough question as interior car temperatures can exceed 140 F.
Depends on where you live and the season and the time left sitting on the
asphalt and ....

It's usually exponential for every degree above the battery's optimum
operating temperature. If they get really hot, their own self-discharge
just makes them hotter. I've seen standard NiMH go dead in a single
extremely hot day.

Kodak's web site may have technical data available.
