I charged it a few days before so it definitely wasn't hot from charging, which I've never noticed it get warm from charging anyway, I normally keep the charge rate around 400mah and it takes 4 or 5 hours. I like to charge 'em slow.
Nothing wrong with charging slo but not using a balancer is just battery suicide. I'm surprised it lasted this long. Get a blinky or equinox and balance all your batts. I also have an elite but I always use a balancer!(I use the equinox)
