A fellow member on an Indian car forum from Delhi reported his car's interior catching fire due to a power bank that exploded or caught fire while parked outside under direct sunlight. I've decided not to test my luck and refrain from recording while parked till summer subsides. Scary!
Had to be the cheap crappy cells; several reports of those going toast at the slightest provocation. Good LiIon cells will easily withstand 150F/65C and more for hours on end with only perhaps a shortened service life as a consequence. With LiIon, cell quality makes all the difference in the world.
Very good info on LiIon safety here: http://budgetlightforum.com/node/45314
