A comment from IBMs site indicates that they agree in matter of the
temperature:

To extend your battery life, decrease the LCD brightness while using
your ThinkPad notebook, employ the standby and hibernation power-saving
modes, and remove and store the battery pack in a cool place if you will
not be using the computer for a long period of time.

Andr=E9.
