Charger Cooler ... Do You Need Them?

[joko]

My laptop chargers get really hot - is it important to keep them cool?
Do items exist in order to do this?
They have no 'feet' to raise them or anything - so does it matter?

ive 'invented' my own for now = i cut the ends off a plastic bottle and slid it onto the box bit, so the top and bottom have an open 'domed' area - which is good to stop coats, blankets etc covering them, or it sliding under the couch, seems to work pretty well so far.

but is there anything 'proper' out there?

thanks :)

I'd be more concerned that the bottle was providing more insulation to prevent heat dissipation. But if it's working, ok.

If they get really hot then maybe they are underrated for the task and need replacing. If just warm that can be expected.

If continuing to use and be concerned, maybe you can get stick on feet from a stationer's to lift them off a table. Probably best not to sling blankets or coats anywhere near them.
