Should the charger for the Mavic Air get real hot I mean 116F hot.
I was charging a set of batteries today one at a time and when I picked up the charger I noticed
it was extremely hot.
I shot it with a laser thermometer and it ranged from the highest of 116f to 100f around all 6 sides is this normal.
All the batteries charged fine just was unsure about the charger.

Thanks
Rudy

All of my chargers get very hot - nothing to worry about and it cools down quickly after the charge. Be sure to place it on a suitable surface during charge - not carpet or a wooden table...

That sounds about right, perfectly normal,but if you are still concerned about the heat you can use a house fan to disperse the heat. I use this method in the summertime...

No probs - obviously don't leave the charger in direct sunlight too.

Wow very close to what I was getting so I guess it is normal.
Thanks to all that applies.

116F doesn't sound all that hot.  It's plenty warm though and sounds about right.  I guess I'll have to shoot mine the next time I charge a battery up.  Hot tubs run just about that temp, some a little hotter, so I wouldn't consider that "real hot".
