Question

Adaptor is overheating while charging.

 

Answer

  • Chargers get hot under load especially when a lot of power is being drawn (e.g. when charging a phone/tablet battery from empty 0% to 100% or when fast charging). This is normal.
  • It's getting hot because it's small and using 25W of power. There's no large heat sink on it to disperse the heat, or a cooling fan which leads to the adapter overheating while charging.
  • This is within specifications and not a defect.

 

Additional steps to try to identify or fix the issue:

  • Try using a different power socket.
  • Try using different cables / cable received in the box.
