You misunderstood. What I'm asking is has anyone actually seen an NG3 go into 
thermal shutdown. As far as I'm concerned the temperature sensing circuit on 
the unit I'm working on is incorrectly designed and cannot detect an 
overheat, or even sense internal temperature at all. The shutdown temp. is 
specified as 100C at an ambient test temp. of 55C.

I'm working on a replacement logic card for the NG3 in order to address the 
charging problems I've been having and that Sparrow owners have also been 
having. The ability to interface with per-battery voltage and temperature 
monitoring equipment are the kinds of things I'll implement.
