Charged three ancient batteries with no issues. Human skin burns at 118F, so it was cooler than that. Not an engineer but perhaps bad battery?

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D; as a warranty issue.

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

My monitor does get noticeably warm to the touch if left on for extended periods (We're talking 8+ hours), but I haven't found it to cause any problems. And it seems to cool down very quickly from being warm. None of the heat emanates from the screen itself, but from the back. I'm only an average to slightly advanced tech user, but I don't think this monitor is overly warm as compared to anything else that is left running for long periods of time.

Mine started sending heat immediately, but I don't use it often as it's in my utility room. When I turned it on I feltnheat right away while I stood underneath it.

I did a test run of about 10 minutes and no, the lamp is not hot.....barely warm in fact. Hope this helps.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

I never over heat but to be fair, I also prop up the laptop a bit by putting a book under neath it while using the laptop buddy.

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

Mine gets very warm/hot, but I can still touch it. I only run my vac for about 10 min at a time.

I let mine get up to about the limit on the thermometer and it did not seem that hot underneath. I would try it. just monitor it. It would not take more than a piece of aluminum foil laid on the table to reflect the heat.

how hot is hot? i dont think heat would affect the reader but heat is bad for electronics all together i dont know for sure but id say 100 degrees an under i think you would have more difficult time in cold before heat hope this helps did you try tech support at barska? im sure they have tested this in all situations i havent had any problems with mine as long as you keep the reader glass clean oily skin affects the reading otherwise it works everytime for me

no -I only run it maybe 10 mins so I haven't noticed anything like that but I would not consider it a normal thing to heat up so much-ask the company

I never had occasion to check the unit for temperature, and having moved, no longer can do so. I am surprised at a report of heat, especially high heat. I suggest contacting Paradise directly as to a possible defect of this unit.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

no, I hardly notice it running and it's totally worth the investment. Thinking about ordering another one for my nightstand!

at room temp 20-22C runs warm to touch but not hot... avoid boxing it in and hot conditions, running nonstop may reduce lifespan...i try not to run it nonstop but if i do it just runs warm and i keep it suspended
