Battery Overheating

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

Possible Causes

• Continuous heavy use
• Restricted airflow during charging
• Faulty charger
• Damaged battery cells
• High ambient temperatures

Resolution

• Stop using the battery and allow it to cool naturally.
• Ensure charger vents remain unobstructed.
• Avoid charging in direct sunlight or hot environments.
• Check for visible signs of swelling or damage.

If overheating continues after cooling and testing, discontinue use immediately.
