Got it today.

Already got the return form ready – and also received my MH-C9000 which seems to be safer

Thanks,
Shahar

Thanks for the comment, Shahar. There has been no indication that there is a firmware or QC update. In fact it appears that the meltdowns are still continuing. Historically the La Crosse BC-9009 has a 15% dissatisfaction rate (1-3 stars) on Amazon, which is high, but when you look at the last 10 comments, 6 of them experienced overheating. So there is something dangerously wrong with the most recent batch and firmware 35. I would suggest you return your battery charger and not wait for it to malfunction. This is one of the most effective ways an individual can apply pressure to both a retailer and a manufacturer to make sure their products are safe.
