Imagine the battery was your only source of power, the EIA is saying that 50% of the time you could discharge / recharge those batteries - at grid scale. Capacity factors are huge for total efficiencies because it measures the time your system is operating... After a heavy charge / discharge cycle temperatures in batteries might be high enough that you have to allow them to cool or recharge at lower rates.

Under normal circumstances batteries do _not_ heat up during charge/discharge, both the BMS and their internal electrical design (most of the cells are connected in parallel) are intended to prevent that. And you connect the batteries in parallel too. The current in individual cells is not significant enough to cause any visible temperature changes even when the whole pack makes hundreds of amps @48v.
