I think you'll find that any device with a lithium ion battery will have similar temperature ratings if the manufacturer is being honest. Everything else in the machine is fine with much hotter temperatures, but cooking the battery is a bad idea.

The battery heat issue is especially problematic with LiPo cells, since they tend to swell up and break open the surrounding device enclosure.
