    I don't see any holes or room for the fan on the Dell E6400 slice battery. Wouldn't using the slice increase temperatures?

    That's a good question. I'm guessing that it wouldn't significantly increase temperatures, as the fan in the system blows out the side vent.

    But I have no way of proving that, unless someone wants to donate $300 :D.

    The battery slice is specifically designed to help with the cooling of the product.

    I believe you are thinking of a product called "cool Slice"

    They are talking about the extended battery slice that attaches to the bottom of the laptop.

    I should have mine in my hands next week and I can tell you guys if it blocks the vent or not. My thought is that it will not block the air intake vent from the bottom but I wont know till I get it in my hands.
