I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Right, that's what I'm getting at. The heat indeed gets transfered to the outside air.
It makes more sense if you read the context. They're responding to a comment that said this:
A response that says "it's not X" can be interpreted as "it's not doing the thing you said it's doing". In this case, over_clox is saying that heat transfers directly from the battery to the air.
