So I've been using this device for about 3 hours and within that time I needed to charge the battery. When i did that I used it again right after and while I was using it, the device seemed very hot, the battery specifically. What's wrong with my device?
Is this a good question?

1. You used the device for a long period of time and the battery really got hot, just turn it off and use it again after 20-30 min.
2. Your fan that cools the device might be broken. The fan is what cools the device and stops it from overheating. If broken just remove the fan and add a new one in.

They use a TO-220 MOSFET inside with a terribly small heatsink and a small glueless mating surface between the MOSFET and the heatsink with a loose rivet. The MOSFET can get too hot and blow (small puff of smoke, sparks…etc.) I just ran into this myself. I’m going to have to desolder the MOSFET(s, there is a second one beside the TO-220) and put them on a better heatsink, properly mated as well. …Conveniently a month after the warranty expires.
*Edit* For anyone needing to replace the electronic assembly inside, the part number is 2610005464.

My flex shaft is getting hot, not the actual Dremel. The flex spring is very hot after about 10 minutes of operation.
