battery gets HOT

[maglover728]

I receintly bought a set of Emag lowers and set about charging the battery. Well after about 2 hours on the STOCK charger, the battery had become very hot to the touch and was still not indicating a complete charge. I dicsonnected the charger from the cig lighter in the car and removed the battery from the casing to let things cool. The battery functions fine yet, as I can tell, but as with every battery I have ever recharged, this one should not get this hot. Suggestions? Comments?

Thanks for any help.

well don't charge it unattended.
I sold an e-mag and apparently when he received the battery was getting hot it eventually smoked he said. it also didn't carry a charge.

battery might be damaged, even though it works in the marker, check the float voltage of the battery. after a full charge it should be around 18v (i think)

[maglover728]

I will check the voltage. Has anyone here built there own replacement battery pacs?

[maglover728]

Anyone?

Not for paintball. I have made batteries for remote controlled cars, communication gear, and medical equipment. I was a professional reverse engineer for a medical and military battery company.
