Yes and no.

In general, batteries that are not subjected to extreme conditions tend to last longer. Batteries also do not like huge fluctuations in temperature, over long periods of time (Summer vs. Winter)

"Battery Tender" brand tenders, have an internal component that measures the ambient temp, and compensates accordingly (lower temps = higher charging rates and vice-versa). The temperature at which no compensation is required for a 12 volt battery, is 77 degrees (F).
