Yes they get hot as they are a Power Supply Unit. People on here will probably tell you that it's not normal but it is. They get very hot at times - nothing to worry about.

Mine gets very hot aswell. Normally when on a low charge rate.
It's quite normal. Don't worry

Or if you're crazy enough, take a small thin, but long shaped CPU heatsink, and somehow attach it to your powerblock (Without using glue/thermal grease)
It works like wonders when I charge my airsoft batterys(900MAH battery at 3500MAH gets hot!). Tho the contact isn't the best, its effective.
