There are loads available for very similair money and essentially the same spec on ebay, I got one which I still have as an emergency backup (and tranny charger). The voltage it says your cells are are rubbish, finger in the air stuff, so I won't use it without charging through a Trakpower balancer for additional security on voltage protection.

You get what you pay for.
