Batteries left in car ?

Although as a general rule I don't leave the camera in the truck because of the Heat in the summer I do have 1 or 2 backup batteries in the glove box. Should I be worried about these or not really?

It gets upward of 140° in a vehicle in the summer. I will NOT leave mine in the car for storage.

As said it could be over 140 F (60 C) in the glove box. Typical manufacturers storage temperature range specs are -20C to 35C for Ni-MH. Li-Ion is a little higher, -20C to 60 C. Alkaline is about -20 C to 55 C.
You definitely want to avoid Ni-MH in the glove box. Other battery types can tolerate it but be aware that high temperatures will greatly accelerate the self discharge rate.

Lithium Ion batteries have been known to catch fire if they get too warm. Just sayin.

Would you stuff yourself into a camera?
Where do folks with electric cars keep their batteries?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the electric car battery is just a tad different than a camera battery....but u can go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong

Lithium-ion and Nickel-metal hydride are most common.

A different design I'll bet. They know the temps will be higher.

At least one air freighter is believed to have gone down because several crates of them in the cargo hold got over heated and burned/exploded.
