I just recently bought my charger and used it for 12 hours at a time and my charger did not get hot. I was charging two devices. I would send it back and get a different one.

Ok after I tried days I don't feel any heat from unit. May be I don't full load the device.

No not all. I have plugged in multiple 0.5A devices into the 2A port on this charger and I have not observed any overheating. I believe that this unit will compensate for devices that have lower amperage ratings which are plugged into the 2A port...

I usually charge it about 4 hours and the battery will be hot to the touch. It should be good to go

I haven't used any other chargers, so it is hard to compare, but this is my personal observations so far (2 months of use): I have not noticed any decrease in charge capacity after use. Typically mine will charge from 1/3 to full capacity of controler in 1.5 to 2 hours, this doesn't seem to be too fast.

Lucky for you. I only used mine once. It got so hot I was afraid it would damage my phone. Send it back and get a refund. Not worth ruining a phone.

Yours is defective, I would guess. Mine is ready to go within minutes of plugging in. I think mine heats up fast.

When I got it, I fully charged it. When I'm just on battery power. it lasts about 4 hours max. Each recharge slowly decreases the battery life. Yes, it does make the laptop hot. I use a laptop cooling pad and it keep it pretty cool. However, the pad connect to the laptop which uses more power if you're just on battery power alone.

Seems like all of these 'iDevice' compatible chargers get a little warm, almost hot to the touch. Guess it's the current required to recharge and even boot up the iDevices, since this one has a 2.1amp output usb port. But never had any problems, and I've bought dozens of these.

Mine has become really warm when charging but nothing hotter than what you can comfortably hold bare handed. That was after about 4 hours of continuous charging. The battery I was trying to charge must have had a drain on it while I was trying to charge it. I didn't disconnect the battery leads. I use this charger quite often and has worked great for me.

Yes, but mine became very hot and popped out of the wall. It smelled like it was melting. My electronics were not damaged thankfully. I had a large charging strip with me. I always use it, but it is very bulky. Hope you have better luck. This is very small, but mine had to be trashed.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

First I would like to know how many gadgets are you charging at the same? If you a are charging 2 tablets at the same time its normal to get hot because you are drawing a lot of current. Remember that tablet

Well, my old Samsung it use to get hot. I think was from the charging process. Um, also when I try to charge it the plug in my phone broke. So i couldn't charge it. I do not have a solution to your problem. But if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Please do not be too technical, I'm only 12

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D; as a warranty issue.

it is normal. all charge will charge above 1.2V (NiMH rated) for a while.. and that 1.45V will drop back to 1.2~1.25 quickly after you use for 10min.

Not sure if it is normal by your standards, but my three V2 (2 blacks & 1 red) do feel hot after a peiord of use, but they do cool down fairly quickly. Hope this helps.
