It is normal that the systems run a bit warmer on batteries, as the
battery itsel warms up. Also some additional power savings may be done
by reducing the speed of the fan.

T1 is obviously the CPU, the others are probably various sensors placed
in different locations on your motherboard. It is very likely that only
T1 has a fan, so others will always be reported as "off".
Have a look at "lm-sensors" package, and especially "sensors-detect"
program - it may provide some additional information.
