Yep - got my BSME there.

Lincpimp - I did that once (put them in the fridge), but taking the fridge to the park isn't an option! Just wanted to make sure that cooling them with an ice pack or similar wouldn't do any damage long term though.

get to your local computers` shop or radioshack and get a 12v 120mm 80cfm [or more] fan...

will cool two batteries in less than 10 minutes...

Just put them in front of a small fan . They will cool of very quickly.
