Answer 2

It should be fine. Batteries do usually get hot after extended use, so it's really nothing to worry about. The only thing I can recommend to stop this is to not use the battery for such long periods! Maybe consider buying another battery so you can switch between them when one gets too hot.

Hope this helps,

Tom.
