You can buy a CR2032 battery in an electronics store. Duracell do their range with their own named one of DL2032 which is fine. | |

Even with the fans not screaming, the CPU core temperatures are remaining between 48C-55C which actually seems to be normal (superuser.com/questions/202807/…) so there may not be an overheating issue, it was just speed fan's "flaming-fire-icons" which made me assume that. | |
