It's not the battery. Get a can of compressed air (dustoff, for example) and spray it into the side vents and watch the dust come out.

It's digusting--you'll see.

Also, never use the laptop on the top of a bed (blankets block the airflow), never on top of a couch or chair (same reason), or anything soft like that. Even your lap will block airflow.

If you must use it on your lap, spread your legs and rest each side of the laptop on your legs (basically, the laptop should have the entire bottom not blocked).

You might look at getting a laptop cooling pad.
