    Both are from China . You can buy a top of the line $ 5000 charger it will still be made in China haha. You can buy a $50000 top line tv it will be made in China.

      ALL made in china today, have phone or car chinese made best stuf. have hard disk, or tv or radio or charger ALL made in china, europe made but no good and ower price lot, many have big shit. and this cahrger, i has looking many review and true test and no matter have genuine or copy, all parts in board and software have same 100% only if youse internal power supply model have little different power supply copy has tighten wires. but if use external power model ,no matter you can use what power supply you want this is best option, and newermind have copy or genuine, genuine waste only lot money to air stupid.

      the battery community is known for being overly safe to the point of teaching people incorrect facts. he says some overvolt but this one doesnt, ive never seen a fake that overvolts to dangerous amounts. notice he says "we" when referring to skyrc. he probably works for them.

    you have to know just like this guy said there is good and bad Chinese stuff. Not all Chinese stuff is garbage. a lot of it is great. Most of what we own if made in China but the price of manufacturing is higher. You can get the same thing made for different price points and they will make them. The good fakes are just as good as the real ones but the bad fakes are way cheaper to make than the real ones. That goes for everything. Clothes, electronics, shoes, anything. So remember you get what you pay for.

    Comparing the real and the fake one. The real charger of course has the Sky RC logo on it. And the fake one does not have the sky rc logo on it. The fake one did not even claim to be sky rc to begin with from looking at the two Chargers they may look the same but they are not. And no one could see the difference between these two either it was in plain sight.

      Note that the real one has the real C E (european quality controlled) logo where as the the fake one has CE (China Export). The logo's have the same letters but the real one has a bigger spacing between the letters. It's always a good thing to pay attention to and a tell when buying equipment if it's a real tested and safe one or a fake. (Also not all "fake" or cloned products from china are bad, not by a long shot.)

    • @chrissybabe8568
      @chrissybabe8568 4 роки тому +1

      Make sure you are charging the right cells. 4.1v is for Lithium Ion NOT Lithium Polymer. A lot of cell suppliers are pretty hopeless at differentiating between the two. Look for a cell voltage on the body of the cell. 3.6v is LiIo (charge to 4.1v) and 3.7v is LiPo (charge to 4.2v). The way to change the cell type for lithium is not immediately obvious (note you can select also for lithium LiFe which is 3.2v and 3.6v). I use all 3 types and I have found that the unit usually powers on showing the last used type. So if you have accidently selected LiIo then it will always charge only to 4.1v. Few reviewers ever mention that you can select between 3 types of lithium because they only look at the charger for RC batteries and these are usually LiPo.
