Limit to battery starts on a C208B?

We are having some internal discussions in our unit that I would like an external opinion on.. Namely is there any truth in the theory that the more battery starts the Caravan does in a day 'degrades' the battery anhd could lead to a Hot Start?

Or is it as simple as, watch you temps on the initial start and as long as your alternator is working fine you should be OK for another 'fresh' start after a 30min flights and a 30min cool down?

Appreciate the feedback
