Will the water in these "spoil" if I keep them in my car if stored in heat?

I also keep some in my car, I live in Florida. They will not contaminate unless they are punctures or the seal is broken. However, if you keep the water in their or in changing temperature environments for over 4-5 years the water will go flat and somewhat stale. However still safe to drink.

It won't spoil but it won't taste great. I am not positive if these will break in the heat of not.

I would keep them out of extreme heat. I think they would be fine outdoors if not left in direct sunlight for an extended time.

Check with the manufacturer, but personally I wouldn't leave anything out in such heat.

You may also need to make sure the car surface is cool. If it is hot/warm water spots can easily be left behind.

No, if stored properly. Keep in cool dry place with cap on tight and keep from freezing.

No idea where you are but I am in SC - the land of 100% humidity and heat (high 90s in the summer). Mine survived just fine. They are in little glass vials in the foam packaging inside the plastic carrying case. I would guess they would be totally fine.

Just keep them is a dry flat place. I keep mine in the plastic sleeve it came in. It won't go bad unless it gets wet but it will crack if it bends. It looks super cool. :) good luck.

I keep them in my cars. I live in southern California and have not had a problem

We store ours in our car all the time. I am guessing the concern is that it uses a li-ion battery. There is still a concern of getting them too hot and what the will do in an accident.

I haven't stored mine in the heat, but I have had some that arrived melted together. It didn't impact the performance though.

. I got them to trap the water from Melting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

According to FEMA and various manufacturers, properly sealed water doesn't spoil but can take on the flavor of the container. Take a look at the fema.gov site for "Food and Water in an Emergency"

I have used these pens for years, but I have never deliberately left them in a vehicle for an extended period of time, maybe the occasional weekend here or there, but I don't think it should be a problem, they don't seem to be too sensitive to heat or cold. I recommend them, I regularly use them to write on wet or frosty items, when a Sharpie can't. I think would put your pen(s) in a small zipper bag just to be safe until you see hav they react in your climate this summer. Good idea keeping one with your CERT gear, I should probably thow one in with mine too.

Trust me, I live in Nevada. If they last here. they will last in florida ! Our summers here are insanely Hot ! They will last inside your car just fine.

I store mine in the freezer. I would imagine if they are sealed properly they will keep Indefinitley, mine have been in the freezer for a year or so and are as good as the day I put them there.

Although they are more temp "resistant" than others, a hot car will probably degrade them over time. Room temp or cooler seems best.

Yes they do. They are tall though. I LOVE my water bottles. I live in FL where it's hot. I can put a little ice and water in them and leave them in the car and they stay cold (or don't get hot) for hours. A standard plastic bottle the water is hot in less than an hour. I will be buying more of these.
