I just recently got a used Valence, and my laptop wallwart gets REAL hot when charging too.  I actually blew another charger I had when I first tryed to charge the batt.  I didn't realize that the Valence wants to pull like 3amps from the charger, the one I was using was rated 500ma :-[ oops.  Thats prolly why the laptop wallwart gets so hot.  If your's is reated at less than 3amps, it may be working real hard.  Mine is rated at 2.7, so it's close enough (I hope).  I def won't charge mine when I'm not home...

Yeah, there's only one set of tips for Apples. My wallwart (?):) says AC input 1.2A. Maybe that's why. Can you get an apple charger rated higher?

"Songs remain. They last. The right song can turn an emperor into a laughing-stock, can bring down dynasties. A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of songs." -Neil Gaiman, "Anansi Boys"

 "The blues is the sound a baby makes when it cries for the first time, 'cause after that he knows it'll get picked up and it's all show business." - Arnie Lawrence (1938-2005)
