Thermal image of a road that was just repaved
(thelemmy.club)
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.
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.
