Does this charger heat up while charging?

No, not at all. Make sure you are connecting to correct charging source and chords don't have issues.

It does get warm but not enough to cause any concern. Both the charger and the phone were in an open area on a table during charging. Remember this is a 13000mAH unit not 3000mAh unit.

I forgot about it and left it plugged into the wall overnight. The next morning I did notice that it was warm. Haven't noticed it getting warm when actually charging my ipod or iphone as of yet. Hope that helps.

The one I got does not. It was the one drawback and I would try and find a USB charger that does do this if you are looking.

The radio/battery is warmer to touch when charging, but does't get hot. Charge in a ventilated area and do not over charge.

Mine has not gotten too hot. I use it to charge my IPhone and IPad at the same time.

No. I takes two times as long to charge your phone with this charger. Mine stopped working all together after 2 weeks. Waste of money.

Did you plug it in right? I plugged it in 1st time & it got hot!! Turned charger over & it charged up fine.

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...

Yes. The battery pack does get a bit hot while outlet charging, but it's supported.

I've only noticed it get slightly warm when it was charging and I was watching youtube videos simultaneously, that's only happened once or twice, though, other than that I haven't noticed anything.

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.

No, and this charger did absolutely not work well or last long. The picture is deceiving as the charger you get looks nothing like it!

On mind there is a red LED that glows whenever it is connected to the charger. Unfortunately, the red LED never turns off or changes color to indicate it is fully charged. Does yours behave the same way?

I think it depends on the charger that you use, but from time to time it will get hot, but not hot enough and often enough that I worry about it. Gets the same temperature when I charge my Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nokia Lumia 920 that have Qi built-in.

mine has gotten quite warm. I don't use it longer than necessary - only in emergencies, not as a substitute for a regular charge. I'd be careful where you place it while charging.

I would say, yes. When charge it has a bright blue light. When done the light goes out, also note the heat from charge stops once the light turns off.

Mine charges right up. I have to remember to unplug it when it's done however, and that is a tad bothersome.

I have never noticed it getting hot. I am not sure about confined spaces. I do like the quality and feel and convenience of a multiple usb port charger with a separate cord allowing charging in more convenient locations.
