Power adapter is hot after recharging.
Hi.
I have a Dell Latitude E5530 using win 8. When I use my Dell battery (94 wht), I normally let it run down to 20% before disconnecting.
The next day I perform the recharging option.
Recharging consists of plugging in my power cord with adapter + connecting my battery to the laptop. I am still connected to the internet during the recharging period. The max recharge I will allow is 85% before I manually disconnect the battery from the computer.
I notice after recharging, the Dell adapter is very hot. It is mildly warm when operating the laptop in power run.
Is ths normal for the adapter to be hot after recharging? I use the standard setting for recharging my battery.
PS: All my products are Dell.
Thanks.
TC.

Hi tomx2,
AC adapters tend to become hot while using. However if it becomes too hot to touch then we should consider replacing it.
Unplug the adapter cord and check if the pins are bent or broken.
Use the adapter in a different power outlet and check if the issue can be replicated.
Please reply with results.
