Well for starters, my 5 gallon coolant battery tank only gets about 10 degrees hotter than ambient during discharge. Don't monitor it charging as I'm asleep, but suspect another 5 degrees. Not hot enough to use as a defrosting source either way. Is enough to get pack to 55 f on a frost morning with a hundred foot wire pipe heater set to 40f.

Spitballing, figure the motor and controller is dissipating a KW worth of heat at full throttle as it takes about .25KW to idle
