Overheat starts the fuse.

My lithium battery pack / car starter is rated for 140F. Can't keep it in my car all the time cause it gets hotter than that in the summer inside cars.

How is this supposed to be viable in hot weather climates?

It's not at all, but dramatic failures are rare enough that most people don't know the hazard exists
