Expert Reply:
Any battery charger, including the CTEK MULTI US 7002 # CTEK56353 will get pretty warm and might be a little uncomfortable to the touch but it shouldn't be getting so hot that you cannot touch it or where it is smoking. If that is the case then I'd double check your connections to make sure everything is clean and you don't have any debris getting in the way.
If your charger is getting too hot to touch let me know and I can help you look into this further.
