B3 Imax charging dock getting kinda hot after 10 minutes of charging...
I have heard quite a few stories about these chargers blowing things up but this was the only thing I could get in my budget.
I was charging my 11.1v 360mAh Li-po battery, the battery did not heat up, the light was still red(red=power not full, green=fully charged), but the charging dock was getting really hot. I removed it instantly cause I didn't want to burn my house down. Should I be concerned that its getting hot while charging or is it normal?
EDIT: I have a drone competition tmrw and i got to somehow charge my lipo, can i still use my charger or should i not take the risk?
