Do the batteries for the Smart Chicken Feeder degrade quicker in heat or extreme cold?

Alkaline batteries work best in moderate temperatures. In cold conditions, the battery’s chemical reactions slow down, which reduces its capacity and the energy it can deliver. In very hot conditions, reactions speed up and lead to faster energy loss, potential leakage, and other damage.

In short, extreme cold or heat can make alkaline batteries less effective and may shorten their lifespan.
