[electricboats] Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?

It may be useful to everyone to know if you've ever experienced your LiFePO4 batteries becoming too warm while charging or while they were under load.

Frankly, I've begun to wonder if the demands of any kind of boating activity on a battery bank would ever push or pull enough amps to raise the temperature of the typical LiFePO4 pack into a hazardous range.
However, if you've had this experience, I would ask that you reply to this message and please describe your setup and conditions for us.

One might say, for instance, you use 100Ah prismatic battery cells in a 16S1P configuration, bound with end-plates and held in a heavy plastic box with lid, and you were {charging|discharging} at a rate of approximately {__ Amps}.  Batteries were measured with a {________} at a temperature of {_______}.

This won't be a statistically a meaningful survey, of course, but if anyone *has* had an overheating experience, it could make for safer boating for everyone if the rest of us were to know the particulars.

Thanks so much!
