MAX1811 gets HOT HOT HOT!!!

Post by xoxota »

Does anyone know why my MAX1811 might be getting ridiculously hot to the touch when plugged into USB?

I don't want to fry my Minty, and this is frekin' me out...

it should get hot...especially when charging the battery...its dropping .5A x 1.5V = .75 watts of power, which is a decent amount of power
