It's worth reading the background material on the psas website. Specifically
http://psas.pdx.edu/AvionicsPowerSystemLv2/APS_BAT-Components.pdf See RT100. Also possibly http://psas.pdx.edu/RocketScience/Thermistors.pdf --- The basic idea is that charging should not occur when the battery is outside the safe charging temperature range. The battery temperature is of interest in at least two places. The LTC4007 and the ARM microcontroller. The old APS circuit and the components write up mentioned above might be of use here. See R2010 & R2031. I think the values you're seeing are "B" as in baker values, representing the "beta" of the thermistor. See the Thermistors write up above for more background.
