Doh! Forgot to add in the actual thermistor value!

I used a 100K thermistor in series with the 10K one located somewhere inside the new battery. The total is 110K which is slightly out from the original spec but will read "low temp" to anything checking i.e. at 25C it will read less than 25C.

But if it gets hot it should still trigger at (say) 75C battery temp rather than 80C. Or something like that, I haven't done the calculations...
