I really like having this unit but today I was alarmed. While charging my phone in my purse it got really hot. What's up with that? Can't be healthy.

Im not sure if its healthy or not but its happening because electricity is being transferred and with it being in an enclosed space (your purse) the heat from it charging your phone has no were to go so it continues to build hotter and hotter. If I charge my phone while it's in my purse I normally have the battery inside my purse and the phone in and outside pocket. That seems to work really well for me. :)

I have try both together yet both the reacharcheable power bank and the phone gets real hot, and let me add my brother in law also has the same problem with a different brand of iPhone that's how I got to know about the power bank I haven't ask for my money back garantee, cause I've been using it as case protector for the iPhone wich I think is what is good for. At the begging I used to keep the power bank charging all night and the charge didn't last so what I did I stop using it as rechargeable power for my IPhone.

I haven't had an issues with my devices currently. I will say that sometimes it depends on what device you are using. For instance, my last cell phone would heat up quickly when charging (not with this bag). I find this bag to be perfect for me.

The only time it got hot on me was when I was playing a game on my phone while it was charging (yeah I know - not the smartest thing to do!). The charger does not get hot during normal charging when the phone is not in use. However I would send a note to Anker and ask them about ventilation. Any battery or energy device generally needs some type of ventilation during use. Even Kindle says that if you have the reader in a protective cover, leave the cover open for ventilation during charging.

Any battery under a charging condition will get hot,reason as elecricity passes to its inner cells to charge them,they will get warm/hot,same as using an electric blanket,where one will not feel the wormth of it until it is pluged in.I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction.karl lawar

Thanks again Daisy. Getting hot was just one of the problems with Note. I always needed to wake it up from a deep sleep, which took a long time, that, plus needing to scan the media card completely until you could make a call, sometimes it would just get stuck, going nowhere, and I needed to take the battery out to make it go. It became too much trouble just to make a call.

I never had occasion to check the unit for temperature, and having moved, no longer can do so. I am surprised at a report of heat, especially high heat. I suggest contacting Paradise directly as to a possible defect of this unit.

That would be a function of the phone not the charger itself. I would have to say on my phone (Galaxy S4 Active), while it may not be charging, it gets very hot if left on the Qi charging pad overnight. I have gotten in the habit of charging during the day and removing the phone when it gets to 100%

Hi, I had really serious problems because of the wheater here in Brazil.When it was hot, the phone overheated and stop working.I look for it and its a bug, youtube has a lot of videos about it.But Amazon was very reliable and I send the phone and they send me the money back.

It gets hot while in my pocket sometimes. I just take it out and place it on the table and/or turn it off and back on.

I just touched mine with a tablet and 2 phones charging currently and it is not even warm.

Same problem here; one battery swelled while in use, enough to pop the back off the phone case. It was hot to the touch; I thought it might burst. I came on here looking for warranty information.

Over the years I have had a few that got hot when they were plugged in constantly. I started unplugging them when not in use.I don't know what caused it, but they did better when plugged in by themselves on a separate plug.

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.

My phone would occasionally get too hot that I had to shut it down. It wasn't only with this battery though. I experience it with the regular battery as well. I think it's just a flaw with the phone.

Not that it damages the product, just that people have the tendency of leaving the battery to be constantly connected to the power source even when both the battery and the qi device are fully charged. Hope that clarifies, have a nice weekend.

Back of phone got to hot for my liking . I no longer use the base charger. May be better if the otterbox cover is removed . I dont see me removing the otterbox cover every time the phone needs charged.
