If you are using the ICS provided battery charger, it is because the charger is an unregulated, non-trickle charging after fully charged item. In other words, you either unplug the charger once the battery starts getting warm, or the battery starts over-charging, and gets real hot. The ICS charger is a good way to burn out batteries - get another one with auto-shutdown/auto-switch to trickle charge capabilities.
