I looked up the cells I have and they show a max of 122F.  My Calibrated =
Thumb might consider that a bit warm, I'll double check via IR.

Thanks for the info!

If you know who made the cells, you can check the mfgr's sheet for max =
temp.
That varies quite a lot. Panasonic goes as high as 140F, some as low as =
104F.
Calibrated Thumb isn't the way to go here.   I also use an IR thermometer,
and/or thermocouple.
