It does sometimes. It doesn't get hot consistently. And just like Jessica L, ours doesn't always charge. It has to be pushed in & at a certain angle for it to charge. But that could be more of an issue with the connection inside the tablet and not the tablet itself. But considering that our original charger had broken so we had nothing...and for the price that this was...I'm not complaining. The stripping on our original charger split, & I called Office Max to see they had any ideas where I could get a charger. The employee told me that issues/failures of the charger was a consistent problem with this product. Hope that helps!! It does sometimes. It doesn't get hot consistently.

It definitely doesn't. Apparently the best thing that happened to me was to lose the original charger and buy this one! The only quirk about it, though, is the fact that sometimes if you plug it up to a power strip with other things plugged into the power strip, the green light on it will start flashing. It means it's not getting enough wattage, so just plug it up to the wall and you're good! it's an amazing charger, and I use it to quick charge my phone too! Hope this helps!

It doesn't get hot. Mine doesn't charge very well though. The cord needs to be in a certain position once plugged in or it won't charge. Hope that helps.

I leave mine plugged in all the time and it's cool right now. Not even warm. The charger that came with mine originally didn't work at all. This one is perfect!

I have one plugged in all the time, and I just checked and it was cool to the touch. Hope this helps?

I have a T100TA-B1-GR and the charger works perfectly... not sure if it works on other devices.

No! It does not which makes it so nice! And also, the laptop doesn't heat up when you are charging it with the case on! :)

Hello, I have a gamer type laptop, it requires high amperage. The charger gets very hot, and when my battery is low, during charging the screen flickers, not enough juice in the beginning. But it does work, hope this helps

It does get warm but not enough to cause any concern. Both the charger and the phone were in an open area on a table during charging. Remember this is a 13000mAH unit not 3000mAh unit.

I have never had the phone overheat. I have had it on for quite some time. That only issue I have is the charging port and how some chargers do not fit in there properly. In that case, you may have to remove the case.

the unit that charges the computer gets hotter ( musch hotter then the 90 watt did...also the fitting (that goes into the computer) seems to fall out more but that might just be a grip or spacer issue. Truth is, OEMs have made specific requirements for a specific reason. Take which ever one you want but remember, if you 'click' on something, then you are obviously expecting that item.

No, this is not normal. This model of charger is poorly designed and is overheating and melting its own case. It's a fire hazard and you should stop using it.

yes, if its usb powered, guessing t100? cause my t100 charges off of most things, its just slow to charge when under 2.amps

no fans, bro. doesn't even generate that much heat anyway. though i use it in an airconditioned room, i still live in the tropics. no probs whatsoever with these chargers. i sometimes even forget about unplugging them when i leave home but they're still good even so.

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 have not experienced that at all, this is now the only charger I use on my ASUS and I have had no problems at all with it. It sounds like you have a bad charger

Yes. It works as well as the charger that came with it. I use it on my T100 as well. In fact, I bought 2 of them so I can leave 1 at work.

When I got it, I fully charged it. When I'm just on battery power. it lasts about 4 hours max. Each recharge slowly decreases the battery life. Yes, it does make the laptop hot. I use a laptop cooling pad and it keep it pretty cool. However, the pad connect to the laptop which uses more power if you're just on battery power alone.

No, the charger does not even get warm. I have two of them that sit on a soft cotton surface, and have had for many years with no issues whatsoever. The time it takes to charge a battery depends on the size you're charging. For instance, AA's charge within a couple of hours or so. I've never actually timed them. "D" s take a bit longer but not much. Also depends on the "charging method" you use, which you can select on the unit.
