After charging them in an original white Sanyo Eneloop charger, Once the green charging light turned off, they were VERY HOT! Is that normal?

I would probably get the latest Panasonic charger. I don't think those Sanyo chargers use all of the modern features of a smart charger, you might have overcharged your cells and Eneloops don't like being overcharged, or well any LSD NiMH cell. You'll need to get your model number of that charger so people can help determine whether it's your charger. Also if you got an infrared thermometer (the one that you can point and click with the laser) so you can see how hot those cells get. Usually they don't go above 110F in the La Crosse charger and the Panasonic charger should be less intense.

Very hot? It's normal for rechargebles to get warm, even very warm, but not hot...at least not too hot to the touch.

I don't think so. read the specs for eneloop and see if you can use that charger with these batteries. The batteries are ni-mh. does the charge say that also?

They've never been hot when I charge them, but I'm using a different kind of charger.

I didn't use a Sanyo Eneloop charger, I used a EBL 800 charger. They were fine when they were done charging. But if you don't have a "smart charger" you should wait until you drain all of the power from the batteries so you won't risk over charging the batteries. I'm guessing that's the reason your batteries were hot.

I didn't notice this issue yet so far. My iPhone 5s heats up a little bit sometimes even when I use the original charger wire which comes with the iPhone purchase. You may want to test with the original wire as well to see it that happens again.

A lot of times gps features in cell phones will make them get hot when powered on. Doubtful this has anything to do with charger. I would make sure output matches that of your phone's original charger.

I sent them all back because: (1) The batteries are not the standard 5V C batteries. (2) The charger I purchased with the batteries, got really hot while charging as did the batteries. The batteries never charged up. This would be a big mistake to purchase.

Nope. I usually put one four to five devices together, just the normal temp, no overheat. I have been using the charger for about two months, no issues.

On my charger (VP130 Duo-charger), the LEDs always goes solid red whenever a battery (regular or Gold) is plugged in. I have to remember to remove the battery(s) after one hour for a refresh or three hours for a maximum charge so that they don't get over-charged. I am not familiar with your charger.

No it's not normal. Are you charging the case until the green light is illuminated? The light goes red, blue then green. Green is fully charged. You should get 1 full charge out of your phone from almost empty. FYI my case stopped working after 3 months. Not a quality product.

If "hot" means you touch it and go "Ow! That's going to burn me," then yes, it's a problem. If it's warmer than your old battery that might have had little or no life to it, then the Anker might be OK or it might be overheating. Bottom line... Don't risk fire or damage to the computer (however, it might seriously be time to invest in a newer laptop or some other device). Return the battery and try another and see if you get the same results.

It doesn't seem normal. Mine will stay a solid red and then turn off once it is charged.

I have had mine a couple of months now, and the red charge light stays on all the time. Before you send theses back, consider plugging into another outlet in your house. Good Luck:))

I have had mine now for nearly 5 months and I don't remember them smelling bad. I use my charger EVERYDAY! I hope it resolves soon for you otherwise maybe contact the seller for an exchange.

I had the same problem. I charged them for 18 hours and the red light never went out. Once I paired them with my phone though the charging indicator functioned correctly.

Mine gets pretty hot, I charge 5 battery power packs. Not sure if it is too much or not, I just hope the circuitry shuts it off incase it gets too hot...

when i initially got the item i charged the battery for four hours anything after that and the battery gets pretty hot, now when i charge the battery , since i only have one smart charger i charge one battery with the smart charger and charge another battwery with the stock charger, when the smart charging is complete i disconnect the stock charger, works for me. it pretty much lasts for a while, ev3n after i put it away after use, it's still charged when i use it again a few days later.

Mine quit working after a few Months. Mine got Hot as well, it was working Ok in the beginning but, I think I was putting the batteries on to soon after using, IT requiers the batteries to cool after use then put batteries on the Charger.... Tell me if that might help with the cahrger getting to HOT.

I don't think that is normal, because my charger does not do it. So far I have not had any problems with the charger or the batteries. You should call the company and ask them about it. I am extremely satisfied with this product.

Nah, it is just drawing the amprage needed to charge. It shouldn't get much hotter than that... If it starts to Burn to the touch there may be a defect in the product. But hot to the touch just don't lay on it for long periods of time or anything.
