It's normal for batteries to become warm during charging and operation, but excessive heat should not be ignored.

Possible Causes

  • Continuous heavy load applications
  • Charging immediately after use
  • Faulty charger
  • Damaged battery cells
  • Poor ventilation during charging

Resolution

  • Remove the battery from the tool and allow it to cool.
  • Ensure charging takes place in a well-ventilated area.
  • Avoid charging batteries in direct sunlight or hot environments.
  • Check for signs of swelling or physical damage.

If overheating occurs repeatedly, stop using the battery and replace it.
