What are effects of secondary lithium and NiMh batteries kept outside?

I'm referring to things like solar garden lights that are kept outside where winters get to -10F on a regular basis, and summers up to 80sF regularly. Naturally, some winters get down to -30F ambient and some summers get to 112F ambient.

Seems like these ups and downs would shorten the life of the batteries a lot. But what life should I expect? So far I'm getting 12-18 month out of my cheap batteries that come with my garden lights.
 
Same here,
I am using NiCd and I can get 18-24 months life before stopping hold any charge
They are dirt cheap on amazon so pretty much im fine with replace it
