Anker PowerWave Pad 10W Max overheated while not charging a phone

Last night there was this fears burn smell in our room. The Pad was plugged in using the cable that came with the pad and an Adaptive Fast Wall Charger Adapter wall unit from DiHines. The Pad was not charging a phone, just plugged in with the blue light off. When checking the Pad is was extremely hot and a bit swollen. Is this a common issue?

Stop using it. Dud. Begin a service warranty process support@anker.com

In parallel, take a good quality photo of charger’s specs, there’s a small chance it’s incompatible with the pad, never heard of DiHines and “fast” and “adaptive” is marketing blurb, only useful information are Volts and protocols as printed on the the charger.

That’s a weird issue. Please contact support

Thanks. That looks unlikely the culprit, work it through support.
