I saw that you got 2 chargers in your video. I would try using the other charger to see if you have the same issue with that one. The charger and batteries that I have like the ones you got do not get hot. Hot charging lipo battery can be very dangerous. Please try the other charger.

The charger will get quite warm and sometimes very hot. Make sure your robot is turned off while charging:)

It might be cold because the battery is now charged from the other charger:D

Nomad, I would just wait until the battery is all used up again and try it with this charger.

Also, make sure not to run your batteries down any lower than about 6.6 volts. Doing so could damage the battery. (Technically you can go down to 6 volts but why push it?)
