Does anyone else's charger get really hot? This is my second one and don't recall the first one getting this hot.

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.

we leave our plugged in all the time and it stays cool. The factory charge that this replaced did get slightly warm.

The one I bought seems to be just warm and not hot to the touch. Temperature seems to be like other laptop adapters I have.

When I got mine that didn't happen.About 7 months later it did stop charging tho. Id return it or have someone look at it. It might just be the charger, you never knew!

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.

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.

I leave it on a wooden end table when I charge it. I've never noticed it being hot at all.

Allen: after using this charger a few times I am disappointed in it. One of the charging stations actually heats up the battery and it starts to leak acid. I stopped using it all together. I was standing next to it and heard a pop after not relizing what it was it took a bit to open the charger and find this is what made the noise. This charges very well but that one station kills the battery. I'm sorry to say I am disappointed to say the least. To answer your querstion it has lights above each charging station and they go from red to green when the batteries ar charged.

I heard that was an issue with others but I never had the problem. I was always careful to be very when plugging the charger in.

When just charging it is ok but if you are using the laptop and plugged in then yes it gets hot, so does the laptop!!

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

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%

Check on the battery occassionally while it's charging. Some times if the battery is to old, it will overheat and melt itself to the charger. I had it happen. If it hasn't been charged in quite awhile, the hot pack signal will come on. I took the battery out and let it sit for awhile. Put in back in the charger the next day and it fully charged.

Probably just your phone, sorry :-(The only problem ive had is my phone getting real hot in my pocket from charging for a long time

Well, most of the time high temperatures means way up in the 100s degree, I don't think anybody uses that battery charger in those hot temperatures, and the only reason they say that is because heat decreases the battery life, you are not gonna use that in high temperatures are you?

When I charge mine, yeah, it does get warm but not too hot. With all the great specs and the size of the phone in regards to being so slim, yeah, it does get a bit warm while charging and then does get hot, but not too hot, when playing certain games on it. But besides all of that, even when it does get warm, I havent a problem at all in regards to any issues with it

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

I leave mine plugged in all the time and it's cool right now. Not even warm. The charger that came with mine originally didn't work at all. This one is perfect!

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.
