The pack was in thermal zone at over 170 for the last half day of that test.
They are using the 350mA Meanwell LED supplies, but I run 2 sets, one for each pack, and spillover is allowed through the 12 ohm balancing resistor connecting the two packs. In the car the temps seem to rise faster, and once you add a closed car and sunlight the temps go into runaway within a few hours. In the winter this isn't an issue.
