Pro runs hotter on battery?!?!

[Michael_B]

Cike read my concerns right... I do find it unusual that a battery would be hotter while discharging under a relatively light load (e.g. reading kindle) than when it's being charged. And, for the record, I've never touched a MacBook Air... well, one time in college, but that doesn't count.

My SP seems to run hotter as well on battery. Do the fans normally run only when on power cord? I noticed once that the fans stopped running when I went to battery, but it could be coincidence.

Hi Bill, check your Power Options.

Thanks Arnold, I see it was set to passive on battery.

You're welcome Bill. I am now using my Acer S3 on my lap and I'm sweating already :LOL:
