Does this charger get hot while charging? Does it emit noise while charging?

The unit is quiet, no buzzing. It does warm up because I charge nickel metal hydrid batteries.

The charger wasn't hot, but the batteries were warm.There was no noise at all while the batteries were charging. I was surprised how fast any size battery got charged.

No, it doesn't! It's a good choice. It is working well and untill now no problem.

It is so quiet that you ought to place it somewhere where you can easily check it to see the charge status lights.

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

Yes it does get very hot while charging and mine only lasted for a month. I would say spend a little more and buy a durable one. That's wat I learnt the hard way.

No, the charger does not even get warm. I have two of them that sit on a soft cotton surface, and have had for many years with no issues whatsoever. The time it takes to charge a battery depends on the size you're charging. For instance, AA's charge within a couple of hours or so. I've never actually timed them. "D" s take a bit longer but not much. Also depends on the "charging method" you use, which you can select on the unit.

I agree with 2ownlife's answer. My Soundlink 2,unit made that blip noise from day 1 right out of the box when I plugged it in with the OEM charger. I wouldn't worry about it as I believe it is normal operation.

The charger does not beep. My phone beeps when it starts charging on it (Samsung Galaxy S5) as long as it's not in vibrate only or silent mode, but the charger itself is completely silent.

no noises. But I haven't used it for over 2 months and will throw it away. very disappointed. It stopped charging after three or four uses. Perhaps the noise is a good sign??

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

The charger shouldn't be making any noise, nor any vibration or buzzing when plugged in. If it is, it may work fine and last a while, or it could fail at any time. Try another outlet just for kicks, but you will likely want to replace the charger to be safe. Mine's been silent and problem free since day one.

As I recall, the red charging light goes out when it's charged. I felt no heat on the unit after leaving it plugged in when charged.

The phone beeps when placed on it, only when the phones volume is on. The charger itself does not. And it does flash between blue and green when charging, stays green when not charging. Hope this helps!

No, the device does not make a sound when it begins charging. However, my phone, a nexus 4 running CM10 in non-silent mode, does beep. So just make sure your phone is on silent or vibrate.

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

I've kept the charger in my pocket while charging and have never had a problem with it. Sure, it gets warm but not that bad.

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 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.

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...
