[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1339336, member: 214663"] The A1299 is the one I use (UK 3 Pin). I may be misunderstanding you but have you used two imitation adaptors before converting to Apple's own ? (I'm sure my iPhone 4 came with it's own adaptor) I think your battery and or charge circuit is faulty, if it's getting very hot under charge then disconnect it. The Apple adaptor I believe is a high frequency switching regulator with an IC control circuit specific to Apple:o (I can't drill down to anything more detailed than that unfortunately!) but I would always recommend using Apple's proprietary or licensed products because chargers and supplies have a BIG influence on battery health.
