Micro-Start XP-10 storage in summer

[dawudih]

I'm considering buying a Micro-Start XP-10 portable jump starter (or similar) but have a question regarding storage in the vehicle. The manual states 40*C, 104*F maximum storage temp, which is the ambient temp in Houston over the summer. As everyone knows, interior temps can easily exceed 150*. My question is:
1. Does anyone have any experience with keeping this in their car during 100*+ days & have you had any issues?
I guess it doesn't have to be this exact product since there are several similar brands.

I keep my XP-10 in my jack compartment. My manual states storage temp is 0-43C but to never exceed 80C. I’ve never had a problem with it.

Well, I just bought a NOCO GB70 instead of the Micro-start. I thought I'd have issues with the plug in terminals of the Micro-start vs the fixed terminals of the NOCO. Seems like good quality, although I'm not sure the if the terminals are copper or "copper" coated (they look painted). Also, it comes with a cloth case instead of something more substantial (not cheap either @ $195). Either way, much heavier duty & integrated terminals as opposed to the Micro-Start plug in, light duty terminals (although, they might be too thick for side post batteries). I think the Micro-start is a better all in one & I'd have been happy with either. I would probably never use either one as a charging station and the NOCO doesn't seem to cater to that like the Micro-start does. NOCO has a 176*F storage temp too, so it should be GTG, even for Houston. Haven't used it yet but Firestone said my 3 y/o Panasonic battery failed their test with only 420cca's, so It might be used soon.

Just used my NOCO GB70 on a friends 4 cyl accord. Bad starter, but it's a rust bucket from up north, but I wanted to see what would happen. Nothing with just the battery, but hooking up the NOCO allowed the engine to turn over, but not enough to start. I was kind of surprised & impressed really.
Replaced the starter, alternator & battery & works fine.
