Depends on the area, how long I'm gone, and how hot it is. I don't like leaving the V1 in the car when it is hot.

The V-1 gets hot from operating?

The V1 does get hot when operating but that is normal. If you have your windows open or AC running you are fine. You can fry the V1 if you leave it in your car, in the sun, when it is hot outside.
