Yes, I am inclined to agree as I suspect these devices were designed to 
run in uncontrolled temperature environments.

Maybe the test would be to measure the current draw over temperature, 
when the box thinks it is warm enough it will stop heating the cell and 
xo and so that is where it was designed to sit. I will also save you $$s 
in electricity. Downside could be that hotter parts degrade faster.
