Hey guys

When my iPod is at about 10% battery, I just dock it on my 3rd party radio (made by insignia, which I believe is a Best Buy company) for the night and, obviously, it is full charged when I wake up. But sometimes it is hot in the morning...not hot enough to burn, but it is still pretty darn hot. Should I refrain from doing this? Or is it normal? Will it damage my iPod?

When I first got my transmitter for my boyfriend's car, it got REALLY hot, so hot that I Was actually afraid, and then my ipod froze, and so I plugged it in a second time and it was okay after that.

But when I charge mine on my radio player, it gets warm as well, but nothing bad has happened from that.
 
mine gets hot when charging from a very low battery level too. i haven't really noticed if it stays hot though. i think i cools down once it's done.
