My son has a 80's model prowler tag along...his converter box is warm to the touch and blows warm air. Is this dangerous? Why would it feel hot?
Thanks
ANSWER: Hi Kim it is completely normal for a Power Converter to get very warm. The reason you feel very warm air coming out of the Converter/Charger is there is a fan in the converter that is used to dissipate the heat that is generated by the converter when it is operating.
The one thing you do not want to do is store items in the storage compartment where the converter is located. The converter needs space so that it can exhaust the warm air so that it does not exceed its proper operating temperature. If you block the vents and exhaust of the converter you can overheat and possibly damage the converter.
