I still believe this to be a connection issue. There is not a solid contact between battery and backend or there is a bad connection within the backend itself. This is probably causing arcing and the reason for the hot back-end. Also this would cause circuit issues and the battery venting we heard about.
Unfortunately I do not have a GH to look at myself.
- Can someone tell me if the backend has a spring or floating connector that connects to the battery?
- If someone can post a pic of inside the back-end.
- If the back-end contact is not a spring or floating contact, someone who is having this issue can try this. You will require a small earth magnet. Attach the earth magnet to the battery end that connects to the back-end. Then just screw the back-end on. It won't screw all the way and thats fine. The earth magnet will act like a spacer and make sure there is a strong contact between the battery and back-end contact. Then turn on and see if the back-end is still getting hot.
