I've noticed with anything larger than 2 cell batteries, the charger gets rather warm. Whenever I charge my bigger batteries I do them at 3 amps, the 1 and 2 cells at 2 amps. The 1 or 2 cell batteries don't really get the charger too warm, but anything above that's another issue. Could it be because of the small power supply? I mean, at 3 amps I'm using half it's rated output, I should also note the power supply gets really warm too with the larger batteries...is this a normal thing? Whenever I charge my 3 or 4 cells I'll charge one, let it cool off, charge another one, etc., which is a little time consuming, but better safe than sorry! I'm wondering if perhaps a larger power supply would help with all the heat, or if, again, it's "normal"? ]]> RC Electronics FAQ Matiac http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49901-A-question-of-current-and-heat
