Macbook Charger Hot But Not Charging

This charger got delivered today and I’ve since charged up both batteries, I read since buying this there’s no temperature sensors so it will still charge if the batteries get too hot. But most battery manufacturers say not to charge when batteries are hot, I had it charging both batteries for 2 hours and I regularly checked up on them and they never got hot or even warm. The display is very useful and tells you everything you need to know about each battery, the circular icon when charging means each circle is 25% of the battery capacity. I’ll mainly be using this when travelling which will be great for me, I can charge these using my power bank. It has a very solid built which isn’t what I was expecting for the price point for both the charger and batteries.

NICE KIT. FAST CHARGING FROM WALL. CHARGER AND BATTERY DOES NOT GET HOT. GREAT PORTABLE AND LAST LONG FOR OUTSIDE SHOOTING AT FULL CHARGE.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally a charger that works with multiple devices. This thing has enough power that I can charge at least three power hungry devices at once, and it doesn't get hot. I can charge a MacBook Pro, a wireless speaker (it sucks a ton of power), and a wireless iPhone charger all at once. Even though other chargers claimed enough power to charge all this stuff at once, none did it. If I was charing my MacBook Pro at high rate, the brick would get super hot. Not this one - it stays cool. Love the look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was incentivized by Influenster for this review – 4 Charging Ports: With some serious power output of 140W, this adapter lets you charge a laptop and 3 other devices all at once. –Travel-Friendly: This compact charger travels well thanks to its small footprint. It’s certainly a lot smaller than carrying a laptop, phone, watch, and iPad charger all at once. It also comes with interchangeable tips for US, UK, and EU plugs. – Super Fast Charging: You can expect fast charging times thanks to the 140W power delivery. Rely on this gadget to charge your MacBook Pro at full speed, or quickly charge an iPhone and iPad while powering another 2 devices. It also charged my MacBook Air from 20% to 100% in less than a half hour! – Easy Port Access: Accessing the ports on this GaN charger is super easy. They’re all on the front of the device, and we’ll spaced out no matter what kind of cable you have!

I bought this for travel with my new MacBook Pro that wants a 140W charger. This one lets me charge three things at once, unlike the Mac charger. However, it only delivers 140W when only the MacBook Pro is plugged into it. If you plug one or two other items, the MBP only receives 100W, but that seems to be sufficient for overnight charging while also charging the phone, watch, or whatever. It feels well made, a little heavier than a similar 100W charger it replaces, but it's the close to the same dimensions, which are smaller than the Apple charger that comes with the MacBook Pro.

I normally stick with native products. But, I've always had great experiences with SmallRig products. This battery charger is no exception. The circular pattern makes it easy to see how far along the batteries are charging. It also has a built in USB cable that can easily be retracted from the base of the charger, and returned to its placement after charging. Highly recommend.

Prior to this I was charging my camera battery in my camera (when I purchased the camera it didn't come with a battery charger). But then I found this gem and would definitely recommend it. It's cheaper than the double battery chargers and just what I need as a beginner photographer.

Okay, maybe the camera is the best thing ever :) But, I love this charger. It works perfectly and is much quicker to charge then charging in camera. I have 5 batteries total, and it takes less then an hour per battery!

Love this charger ideal for travel and charging!

The charger is much faster than in camera charging. A must buy.
