According to some articles online, AGM batteries don't perform in hot weather. With that in mind would a more power capacity regular battery vs the stock battery be a better choice in a hot climate?

This article says differently:

https://www.automoblog.net/5-best-car-batteries-for-hot-weather/#:~:text=Cold weather slows the reaction,different from standard car batteries.

I live in a warm to hot climate and also reguarly visit hot climates (Nevada and Arizona) and have not had any trouble with AGM batteries in my vehicles.

Excellent, thanks. An AGM definitely my next battery one way or another.
