CANNON.

To avoid the heating problems and venting blah blah blah, would placing the packs on an ice pack or in a cool esky do any damage to them. This would be before charging them and maybe if a hot enough day, whilst doing the intitial charge prior to re-peak

The reason I asked is I placed one of Sonny's battery packs (Johnny's) on some ice rapped in a cloth I had left over from a drink. The batteries when I noticed them were at about 55 deg, after placing them on the ice they went down to 44.5 and stabilised, this is whilst charging them. They were also placed behind the Much More charger so the fan was also blowing on them.

As for the comments regarding the IB World cells, they do seem to get stupidly hot as the pack mentioned above was being charged right after the explosion and this pack was getting very hot also.

Thanks in advance
