Re: Guest Battery Charger hot?
If a battery is deeply discharged, the charger works at near full capacity (8 amps in your case) so yes -- the case will get warm. There is a difference between "warm" and "hot". Hot is when you get uncomfortable quickly when you place your hand on the case. Warm is just that. It is warm but not uncomfortable to hold your hand on it. If the charger is installed in one of the compartments, the lid should be left open to vent any gases from the battery as well as to provide airflow for the charger. Never use the charger with the lid closed.
