I was thinking more about the batteries. It's probably not as big of a deal with such small batteries, but lithium ion batts can enter an "uncontrollable, self-heating state" called thermal runaway. https://ul.org/research-updates/what-is-thermal-runaway/

Yes, but our gear should have sensors that know when thermal transfer is sustainably going to impact the batteries.
