In general, battery is source of electricity and not the heat source. However, for common use of battery, battery can be a heat source though it is not intended to be. It is because the flow of electrical current through resistance would give out heat. If your battery heat up without cause then it is suspected for the short-circuit. Over charging or oversupply of electricity would also cause the battery heat up.
