BocaBen -> Heat shrink blower damaging the A123? (3/6/2007 1:45:25 PM)

I was just doing some 2 cells pack yesterday and using my heat gun on the heat shrink tubing.
The temperature on the outside was too hot to touch and my question was if this could damage the cells.
I read somewhere that we should not exceed 140 degrees F or the battery will be damaged.
Is this only true for heat coming from charge/discharge, or is it also for external heat?

Unless you are melting the heatshrink off the packs it should be no problem. Manufactures have used heat shrink to sleeve cells and packs for 50 years.
