      It should not be more than warm to the touch. Is it charging continuously (i.e. the red light on all the time)? If so, there may be a problem with the battery or some other sort of significant current drain in the car.

          1) Bad battery cells causing excessive draw
          2) Low supply power to charger
          3) Wires crossed (been there done that)
          4) Bad unit as a result of #2
          5) Just a bad unit.

          Like Joe said, should be no more than warm to the touch. Theyre pretty straight forward Lyndon

              Lyndon,

              Try it on a known good battery/vehicle and see if it reacts the same.
