errr...huh?

Before I went to Cancun Jeff bought me a new camera. If you know me then you know I have the worst luck with batteries and cameras. :oops: I also got new Duracell batteries and charger.

So can someone tell me why my batteries get hot when I recharge them? Like it sometimes is crazy hot...not that I can't hold them but pretty dang hot.

:confuse:

Not sure why they heat up. I have some rechargeable batteries for my camera and they tend to get a little warm. i would say that is just what they do. But if they are getting, what you might think is dangerously hot, then maybe something is wrong with the charging unit.

Mine get crazy hot too after being charged - not sure why though??? :weirdface

At least you're not alone :rolleyes:

i know they get hot when they're short circuited, but i don't know why they would do that from being charged- maybe short circuiting is the way to recharge them. a short circuit is basically when the battery is giving itself a current i think...correct me if i'm wrong.

no i dont think it is the battery charger. I mean....i guess it could be but all of my other ones did it and I thought they were bad so I tossed them out. I have bought like 5 in the past 2 years. :O

hmmmm...

it's a conspiracy I think.

:evileye:

They all get hot. When you think about pumping 2-3 hours worth of energy into 10-15 minutes, it's going to create some heat. It is totally normal. Most chargers have built in fans to help.
