Is your laptop battery too hot?

 Some people are more sensitive to temperature than others, so using “too hot to touch” isn’t a great troubleshooting technique. Unfortunately, very few people have a thermometer around capable of measuring temperatures through the normal operation range of a battery like Toshiba satellite A70 battery, including most computer technicians, so touch is all most people will have to go on. If the battery e.g.  toshiba pa3384u-1bas seems excessively hot, first shut down, check the web to see if it’s been included in a recall or if a hot battery such as toshiba pa3383u-1brs is typical of the the particular laptop model. Then proceed to the battery like toshiba pa3107u-1brs troubleshooting flowchart.
