Values 5 and 7 you mean. Yes, that's it.  And IMHO, a 2K (or 2°C) difference
from one side of the pack to the other is still expressive enough.

That said, I usually get:
Main battery charger: +36.0°C
Main battery cells:   +30.0°C

(sensors output with my T43 sensors.conf file and a hwmon-enabled
thinkpad-acpi :-p).

Which is even a more expressive differene :-)

I guess your thinkpad does a much better job at keeping your battery pack
cold than mine!   Might be the pack electronics themselves, too.
