Hmm.  To me OVERHEAT and HOT can mean two different things.  I will 
check the implementation but I would

prefer to use HOT.

If a battery or charger is HOT that may be expected to be within the 
heat limits of the device being monitored but that it is hot.

Overheating means the device is above the expected upper thermal limit.  
Or over the heat limit.

The user may want to take action within the hot range to cool the device 
or may expect the device to run hot without over heating.
