Hello everyone. Charging my ultrastinger on the slow charger, the 180ma one, the light is always warm. Is this normal? I've had an led polystinger for quite a long time but never had a cradle for it so I always used a smart charger outside of the light. So I'm new to cradle charging. I'm surprised that it gets warm at such a low charge current but I would think that wouldn't be good for the battery? It's not hot, just warm. It only gets warm after several hours after use so I imagine after the battery is topped up it heats up but then seems to stay warm. The cradle itself is warm too but that's probably the trans/rectifier.
Thanks
