Overheating? (hot to touch. especially the batteries) Do you guys have this problem?

I had that problem once -- but it happened when my batteries were almost dead and the camera shut off on its own, and then began to overheat. I took out the batteries and haven't had that problem again.

I have had mine for over 8 months now. The only problem I ever have is with it over heating in my parked car. But at my job I'm forced to park in the sun and I live in central Florida. Our heat index yesterday was over 100f. I can only imagine how hot it gets in a parked car with the windows shut from 530am to 300pm. It overwrites files automatically in the order of the oldest to the newest. I leave mine in live recording mode 24/7. I have many emergency lights in my vehicle so I have a deep cycle battery for my accessories. So I never worry about it draining my battery.

This is a extended life battery. It hasn't appeared to get hot with me. Getting hot is one of the items that are listed for return or replacement. Anker will replace the battery. If it continues to get hot, after a replacement is installed, then something could possibly be going bad in the power adaptor or laptop. Unfortunately, the only way to verify if battery is working, is it will tell you in windows that the battery is charging at so much percentage. Anker can be contacted directly for troubleshooting issues. Anker is good people. I used them and they were excellent! I would get a replacement first and see if that clears up the issue. If it is the battery, this problem should go away. It is not unusual for batteries to get warm, but It should never be hot to the touch. Directions that came with your first battery, should mention about battery getting to warm. Hope this helps. Feel free to write again. Have a Blessed day.

My radio gets warm when charging which is normal when charging most batteries. But it does not get excessively hot.

I never got hot with mine, unless it was (like Matthew said) heating the battery up for other reasons. Sitting near a window, heat duct, etc while charging. Otherwise i never got hot using the Nokia Qi puck.

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.

You need to unplug it. I use a thermostat to control it which turns on at 0 deg F and off at 10 deg F also available from Amazon. It keeps the battery from getting too hot.

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

If the red light is the only one that comes on your battery is probably too hot. Let it cool down or even put it in the refer for awhile. That has worked for me.

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

Not sure if it is normal by your standards, but my three V2 (2 blacks & 1 red) do feel hot after a peiord of use, but they do cool down fairly quickly. Hope this helps.

My experience is, it does not get hot at all. I have two batteries on charge all the time in this, as well as one on the original charger. Based upon my experience - Yes it is defective.

I have not had any problem with over heating. However, my battery swelled and I notified JVC twice but they never responding back to my email.

I've had mine for a month (the blue N120-13GBL with the longer battery) and I haven't needed a cooler -- I've left it on, on battery power, all night cycling through a long podcast playlist and it did fine, no heat problem at all.

If I understand correctly, you are saying after you replace the batteries with two new batteries AND you run the unit for another long period of time, the unit will not overheat anymore?Let me try again when I get the replacement. (I contacted Flip and they offered a replacement. So, I requested a exchange from Amazon.)

mine is set on C and I keep meaning to contact the company to find out. It is warm on 37-38 over that it gets hot. If you get the answer before I do please let me know. No it is batteries

Thanks for your response. I was having trouble picking up the temp from the base. I think the batteries were low (duh.. pretty obvious..). I put in new batteries on both units, repeated the sequence a couple of times and... voilà! I think I've got the hang of it now. A handy little device.
