Well it all sounds like pretty good advice to me so far.
However in this case
1. What I observed was the room enclosed was pretty dam hot to start with.
2. A batt sonny was charging was at excessivly hot after 20 min of charging that was on when I saw him.
3. These batts were used in 540 hence they may have been bent from a hit causing a bar to neg hard short. Diffical to tell cause not much left of them.
4. The lower the mV used in charging the higher the volts any way "read the manual”. It says mV drop off so I would go for the lowest that doesn’t false peak and try to get 45 deg 125f so the electrite is fully active and that is it.
5. I have only seen this when some real nice DOGY guy shotted out my pack cause they were spread out in the boot of my car cooling down at Wynnum last year
6. WC do defiantly get hotter so a lower mV is defiantly the go there.
7. Use a volt meter to check the cut off is working proper.
8. Never trust the temp by its self us a temp gun to confirm on all cells when charging not just the one the sender is connected too.
9. Just go to member all that and you wont have a problem.
10. Oh year if you see it get to 60 deg surface temp just remember that’s gana cost you more money causse your killing them no doubt.

Hop this helps
