Is it the charger that feels warm, or the batteries? And what's the charge current on the charger (also, what charger is that, I don't recognize it)?
It's the LUC V4 charging 4 batts at
0.5A..all 4 batts and charger are fairly warm (but not hot) after 3hrs.
batts are still not fully charged yet..

Were the batteries fresh with only a partial charge? 500mA is a nice gentle current so taking longer than 3 hours to charge is not surprising. They will get a bit warm, but as Joergl100 pointed out, not hot. I've never used an Efest charger so didn't have any idea of the specs.
Pretty ok. Takes 6 hours to pump 3000mAhs with 500mA charging current...if they were at discharge limit.

Maybe ok, maybe not...i do not think AWT is a battery manufacturer, only a rewrapper! That "40A" is surely not the reality...there are no such batteries in the whole battery-world.
New AWT 40A Batteries Trustable?

I've been using awt batts for the past year in my RX200 mods without any issues at all
Got the same batts today for my RX300
Batteries finally fully charged and I just installed them in the 300.. appreciate your replies, thx

The thing with rewraps is they can change what's under the wrapping at any time, so while the last set were fine that's no guarantee this one will be. If these were getting warmer than the ones you're used to, it's an indication that something may be wrong. It's certainly different.
Also, how old is the Efest LUC v4? There was an issue with an earlier version overcharging batteries, although they fixed that sometime in 2014. You can read the reviews here, if you're interested:
Review of Charger Efest LUC V4

Yes its normal batteries to get warm during charging.

Never used that kund of charger byr if its a 1 amp charger it could take 12-18 hours to charge 4 18650s..with a 2 amp charger itvwill still take 6-8 hours.
4 18650 batteries you are looking at 10,000 mah and up
Mine stopped working (4 one) now using the 2 one and I dislike cause of my RX
