Is it really hot, Panorama, or just warm to the touch? Mine stays cool through the whole process. I would worry about a hot cell.

They do charge fast and also get very warm in the process. I just put one on for charge and after 20 minutes or so I had to move it out of the way and noticed it gets toasty....I just found a new hand/foot warmer!
Mine's not hot at all, in fact it's cool to the touch, but the last bit is taking way longer than the first bit. I said it had two bars left, and it finally got another one, but it hasn't got the last bar up yet. I also FINALLY found the LED light. It seems to be off to the left, and lower than the little window, so I thought the light didn't work, until I accidentally got at the right angle and spotted it. LOL! It's green now, but still on, and the destructions say it will go out when fully charged. So as of this minute it's been on there almost four and a half hours, but still, that's comparable to the X-6 battery. And the Disrupter has twice the battery life of the X-6. So all in all, I'm STILL very impressed!

Mine average around 2 hours to charge. It may be that I use the outlet versus a PC which is a much slower charge, this too would explain the heat perhaps....?
Just remember that behind that plastic window, they had to cram in a green, orange, and red LED, and they are separate LED's so any given color may be a little off center.
Lannie, you're probably only charging yours at .5 amp. If you use a 1 amp wall wort, it will charge a lot faster. Mine just takes a couple of hours. Panorama, I don't think warm is a problem. Hot definitely is.
Yep...The first time I lit the lights up my thought was how did they cram 3 lights into such a tiny space. Should have just used one clear one and use a miniature version of the old Xmas tree color wheel for those ghastly aluminum fake trees.
I am not sure what the specs are on the Innokin wall adapter. But it is not hot, but far more warmer than any 18650 I charge.
After seeing it a few times I am wondering What if anything they may do IF and I mean a BIG IF some do not claim theirs. Do they just chalk it up to their loss or will they maybe give a few of us in here a chance at them
@Innokin_Ash has there been any thoughts about this?????

I checked it again and it has cooled down considerably. Must be the first half of the charge cycle then drops off after so much has charged.

Mine gets slightly warm but in no way would I call it toasty when charging.
You're right. My charger cable says .5 amps. I'm charging on the wall thingie, though. What the heck is that plug part called, anyway? LOL! Right after I posted last, I went up and checked it again, and the green light was still on solid, but all the bars showed up, so I figured it was good and unplugged it. Was that right, or did it still have a little way to go?

It was "nearly" full. When the battery is fully charged, then the LED will turn off.
Thank you.
(I must learn to be patient... I must learn to...) I'll make myself wait next time. This thing is just SO AWESOME! I can't put it down! LOL!
Never mind, I shoulda kept reading. Wall adapter.
Lannie, I think when you get a 1+amp adapter, you'll be able to achieve that "fully charged" state. There's a +/- thing with those chargers - maybe it wasn't quite putting out enough juice. I used to have that same problem when I tried to charge my Volt batteries with my V2 charger - it would work, but would take forevvvver and never show the fully-charged state. Got the proper charger and it charged right up just the way it was supposed to.
OK, so the USB cable should be fine, though? I just need to get a 1 amp wall adapter for it? I have two wall adapters now, both .5 amp output, that came with the EVOD set and the X-6. I know charging slower is better on the battery, but 1 amp wouldn't be too much, I'm sure. (I'm going off information Rich has told me about charging car batteries here, so it might not even be applicable.) Anyway, if a 1 amp would work better, I'll put that on my list of stuff to get.
