That must be an usage (ambient) temp, and not an internal battery temp. If the battery was never allowed to go above 113°F I can't imagine they would ever go critical.

Just another thought. Failure mode. a battery that grenades a phone is not a good failure mode.
"A short circuit inside a lithium ion battery can lead to what's known in the industry as a "runaway thermal reaction." The reaction can cause the battery case to melt and spew hot liquids, or explode due to pressure and heat."
