Yes. You'd never notice the levels I am talking about. They are not catastrophic failures or thermal run away. Just gassing faster than you might want, which reduces capacity over time. You would have to go to silly levels of thinking about it to be able to detect this kind of outgassing.
Your battery OEMs might be willing to tell you some techniques for charging in hot conditions. For every 10 degrees C over 25 (77f), all the chemical processes in the battery double. 116 degrees is one chemically active battery. Higher temps just plain age batteries, even if you get everything Perfect. Especially batteries where you cannot get in and reduce the specific gravity to compensate a bit.
