I have done some tests to see the temperature of the battery during idle and I did a stress test (youube video). During idle, the temperature is 41C and while watching a video on youtube, it is 58C. Mostly the same temperature as the CPU.
This is very hot for a battery, we are cooking the battery and it will not last very long.
I will have to find a way to remove as much heat from the CPU as possible and throw it outside of the enclosure.
Currently a big thermal pad is used to connect the CPU to the bottom plate. Probably an aluminium pad with a thin thermal pad on the enclosure side (to glue the aluminium on the enclosure) and some efficient thermal paste on the CPU side might help.
Is it possible for Pine64 to sell something like this as an item we could buy to have a lower temperature inside the pinebook pro?
Otherwise I will have to manufacture this myself.
