My charger gets very hot, and the USB cable end gets very hot. Is this safe?

I've never experienced that with my UL-certified iClever. It's always stayed cool to the touch. I can't say for sure if your charger is safe but if it were me personally I wouldn't use one that gets very hot. They're not too expensive and why take a chance?

First I would like to know how many gadgets are you charging at the same? If you a are charging 2 tablets at the same time its normal to get hot because you are drawing a lot of current. Remember that tablet

It sounds like you are over driving the power of the adapter and certainly the cable should not get hot. If it is attached to a phone then check the phones spec's for the correct power rating of the adapter.

Mine gets warm not hot. I guess it depends on how long you leave things pluged in. I have not had the problems you are experienceing.

Greetings. Could you please help to inform what product you used the charger to charge? Did you use the original USB cable of your equipment? Thank you.

My iClever has always stayed cool to the touch. If it is getting hot, I would inquire with the seller.

I'm not sure I can help you, my charger is working fine. I might make suggestion to be sure the micro usb is pushed all the way in, other than that I can't really help you. I love mine and am thinking of buying another.

I have not had an issue with this unit overheating. I have taken it from NYC to London, to Sri Lanka to Malaysia, and no problems. It works fine and charges my phone over and over again before having to recharge the Universal External Unit.

Yes. The battery pack does get a bit hot while outlet charging, but it's supported.

I only used mine a few times. It would get so hot that I was afraid it would catch fire. I would stick with the chargers that are specifically made Apple/Mac products. They are too expensive of computers to risk.

Its been my experience that leaveing it plugged in after dark the charge likes to feed back through the carge controler and heat up why i dont know but it does i would reccomend unplugging it as soon as it gets daark just to be safe..it does get kinda hot!

the one I have has a capacitor not a battery because of living in the Texas heat so when I unplug from charger it only stays on a little while haven't tried usb

I would recommend a different charger. Mine makes a crackling noise every time I plug it in. It got to the point that I just bought a different one because I was afraid if frying my laptop.

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

No, I've had two devices plugged in for hours and it does not get overly warm. As with any charger it will get warm, but, it should not get hot.

Not that I know of. I still use the charger that came with my unit. It has given no trouble and does not get hot. The same charger is with my grand daughters A500 and she has had no problems either.

I have not noticed it running hot and I have used it to backup my laptop and for a wireless mouse adapter. It is a PCMCIA slot card. If your laptop supports it you will get USB 3.0.

No not all. I have plugged in multiple 0.5A devices into the 2A port on this charger and I have not observed any overheating. I believe that this unit will compensate for devices that have lower amperage ratings which are plugged into the 2A port...

I should mention. Ihad to re solder the electrical on the phone end. It wasn't a big deal since I was familiar with soldering. I wouldn't let that stop you though. This is a fast, great charger. If you have an issue, any phone repair shop should fix it permanently for probably relatively cheap.

Yes....but you are taking a chance, they could damage your charger. Read the reviews about the meltdown problem, It happened to me.

I do not think u will have any problem of overheating. If u check your plug during operation & it is not warm u r good!

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