Thermal imaging on 21700 TP 50XG 5Ah Battery Build

Sorry this is super boring but In response to a question, I had to post this.

My recent testing of my build with Tenpower 50XG Batteries, Running 2 batteries in 36Volt leaf blower till forced shut down due to low voltage aprox 2.7V, 51C is hottest temp I achieved in the tool (1st pic) then immediately put in the rapid charger. (all the following pics are are side view while charging on wall mount Makita rapid charger (the side view reveals the hot spots while charging) (images are time stamped) and the cell temp dropped from 50C to 36C in 50 seconds. Meaning its engineered to be effectively (convection) cooled while "Stock Makita " rapid charging
