Using soldering iron to join the batteries together. If I am understanding correctly, from the reply, it is okay to use a soldering iron, but not for prolong period of time. Must be quick.

I agree with JDbye.
Don't, just don't.
Unless you're a trained professional, never dick around with lithium batteries.

Or through the update there are now some missconfiguration, especially the fan. But iam not sure if this really could be.

Normaly Windows takes the fan information out of the bios. If there is none configurable, take a Windows tool. There are some available.

If u tested or checked every mentioned possibilty in this thread, my last thought is improving the airflow. Check for a stronger fan. There are for sure some with higher airflow with same Powerconsumption.
And/or build in a channel where the air flows, if possible.

If u change something u can use the utility hwmonitor to check if differences take effect.

NO. Do not do this. By the time the solder melts you have already heated up the cell beyond safe limits, because the battery sinks the heat away from the solder point. It's very likely you will see smoke, or worse.
You don't want to risk a fire later on when the batteries are left unattended while charging, such as at night or when you're not at home. It's not worth risking your home and your life over.

I agree with JDbye.
Don't, just don't.

Don't worry, I don't plan on it and thank you both for confirming my original statement.
Perhaps something like this would be a good way to join the batteries together, especially for the non expert people.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
