I would say that your charging at too high of a amp rate.
I've had my Pirhana charger for a long time, don't use it much anymore, but it has never gotten too hot to touch.

I'm assuming it has a built in fan, any chance it stopped working?

I might be a pain but you could point a small household fan at it to help keep things cooler while it's charging. That's what I did to my Dynamite charger until I got tired of messing with it and bought a better charger.
