That would be my guess. As long as the battery is insulated reasonably
well, I wouldn't think there would be enough temperature difference to
matter, but I could see it being a problem if the battery isn't
insulated... but heating a battery and not insulating it wouldn't make a
lot of sense to me anyway.
