Batteries get hot when they get charged because of their internal resistance.
The whole point of having graphene or unobtanium or whatever is just to reduce that resistance.
They would not get as hot while being charged; ideally even a full charge could not produce enough heat to trouble them, doing away with the need of forced cooling.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
