Seems like it might get hot if it’s in the sun, plus the chargers giving off the heat. And with batteries degrading due to heat, I’m curious what your experience has been?
Good points, and ones I probably should've mentioned in the video. I never leave it in the sun, even though I had it sitting exposed on the seat in the video. If I'm solo, it's usually buried in front of the passenger seat and, if not, behind the front row of seats. I actually do take care to make sure it's not exposed to the sun (and also because a box of tech-looking objects might prompt a break-in - none yet, knock on wood). I haven't really noticed any meaningful heat from the charging objects themselves. As for battery life, it's only in my car when I'm using it and I typically bring whatever's charging with me, so nothing's really sitting in the car and baking. Something like the gimbal might get left in there when I don't feel like dealing with it. I haven't noticed any battery issues yet but I can't imagine leaving it in a baking car even occasionally is good, so there probably is some degradation there.
