Battery Issues

The unit works in a paper factory 24/7 and within the last three months of usage we had to change a battery every month. My take is due to the heat from the exhaust located right behind the battery and also the radiator and engine temperature is really high and may be evaporating the battery fluid causing overcharging. Any possible solutions that can be done? Battery being used is a maintenance free battery. Temperature of exhaust is 100degrees and battery temperature is 64degrees.

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
