Q: 10. Does it turns really hot while charging?

A: As indicated on page 8 of the instruction manual, there is a possibility that the battery, charger, or accessories may become slightly warm during the charging process; this is normal, but it should not be "really hot" as you indicate in your inquiry. If you are experiencing issues with your charger, I would recommend to discontinue use and contact Watson directly either by e-mailing them at info@poweredbywatson.com or by calling them at (212) 594-2120.
