G’day & thanks for your help. I have just installed a new Blue Smart IP22 12volt 30 Amp battery charger but i’m very concerned with the heat of the metal base plate. I literally cannot hold my fingers on it for longer then a few seconds while bulk charging a single 12v 100 amp/h lithium LiFePO battery.
It’s installed flat but with a 20 mm air gap underneath in a well ventilated cupboard (door open & top vent). The cables to the battery are only just warm to the touch, the unit seems to operate just fine otherwise. The AC supply is from a Honda EU 20i generator. Should it get THAT hot ?
