I was charging my Barnburner the other night when I starting having trouble with the charger. At first I started hearing a high pitched whine that's so loud I could hear it a room away. When I went to investigate the cause I saw a light blinking on the BB and the charger was so hot I had trouble holding it with bare hands. Now the longest I can keep the charger plugged in for is about a half hour before it gets that bad again. It's obvious something seriously failed internally, I'd just like to know what and why. I know it's not safe to keep using it like this but I don't have a choice til I buy a new one. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

No problems with mine, and I charge my BB regularly, at least every 3 months. If it were to start whining, I would slap it up side the head.

But seriously, contact Dan. I'm sure he will take care of you, that sounds like a failed component.
