Default Battery Tender

I just installed a HD battery tender, I have had it plugged in for about 6 hours and it is still showing Amber (charging).&nbsp\\; The box that plugs into the wall is very hot, is this normal or do I have a bad tender?

Default RE: Battery Tender

Was your battery in need of a charge?&nbsp\\; If so, then it will take a while to fully charge the battery.&nbsp\\; During the charging period the battery tender will get warm.
