Running temp of SH775, touching battery?

What's the operational temp of the SH775 on a 450? Im relocating my battery and it will be touching the regulator. It isn't laying on top of it, but it's touching perpendicularly, about a 1mm strip across the width of the battery is in contact and I don't know if it generates enough heat to damage the cells. TIA. I'll post a pic in the morning if this description isn't very clear.
 
Thats great to hear. I've just read so much about making sure they get ample airflow, and about the stock ones burning up so I assumed it was pretty hot. Thanks.
 
I've touched mine a few times after coming in from a ride and it's always been cold. I would imagine it only heats up when the battery is run pretty low.
 
Can you trim the R/R fins to eliminate the contact? Regardless of the temperature it would seem prudent to avoid anything metal rubbing on your battery case.
 
I'll post a picture of how it sits tomorrow. I was cutting my battery holder out of galvanized steel and sliced my finger open when the drill bit in and spun it so I stopped for the night. I don't have easy access to a welder so I've been using strips of steel wrapped around the frame (kindof like hose clamps) to mount things.
 
I was curious as well
I hooked up a 775 over the weekend, I shot my temp gun at it earlier and it said about 120F, after about a 15 min ride. About 90F out, slight humidity
Maybe it just runs a little hotter if you sit in some traffic

Agreed. They don't get very hot at all, but if it's making any contact, vibration will chew a hole through the plastic battery case very quickly. And that's not good. You could trim a fin, but relocating would be best.
