Battery OverheatingUpdated 7 hours ago

Whilst some warmth is normal during use and charging, excessive heat should not be ignored.

Possible Causes

  • Continuous high-load applications
  • Charging immediately after use
  • Poor charger ventilation
  • Faulty charger
  • Internal battery damage

Resolution

  • Stop using the battery and allow it to cool naturally.
  • Ensure the charger is used in a well-ventilated area.
  • Check for signs of physical damage.
  • Avoid charging in direct sunlight or high-temperature environments.

Continued overheating may indicate an internal battery fault.
