I should know this, and I suspect the answer is “don’t do it.” But I thought I’d throw it out to the experts.
I try to treat my batteries very well. Before I realized they’d automatically not charge if they were too warm, I always waited at least an hour after flying to charge to make sure they were cool enough, and actually I still hold off until I’m comfortable they are cool.
But: Is it bad for the batteries to quickly cool them after flight so I can charge them quicker? For example, is there a problem with throwing them in a cold cooler (making sure there’s no leaking liquid, of course) to cool them down so I can start charging them sooner? Again, my assumption is that this would not be good for them, but I’m not an expert on battery physics. If this were ok, I could get a few more recharge/flight cycles in.
