I installed a lithium ion battery

[Jarbear]

i think you all mean Lithium Iron don't you. Not Lithium Ion as in what you get in electronics such as cell phones and laptops.

Though Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are a thing, he means Lithium Ion.

Edit: The battery the OP installed is in fact a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery according to the website.

My understanding is that it's still considered to be under the family of lithium-ion battery technology. With some specific differences. Of which I just read about on wikipedia

What is the warranty and how well would they work in the Phoenix heat?

2 years according to the website.

Where I live in Sydney has pretty hard core summers we have weeks of multiple 40+C days). So I'll let you know in 9-10 months.

If you didn’t mount an e-Golf traction battery to the car and step it down to 12V are you even really modding? /s
