Been looking on the bay for a nitecore charger, the ones from china seem cheaper that the uk and USA ones ??

Would the ones from china be fake or is it the delivery time that makes them cheaper

Any other chargers worth a look

Thanks

I've bought from China and the UK and they do seem the same.

However, for a few quid more, I think I'd buy from the UK fella. If it goes pear-shaped, it's sooooooo much easier to return it.

There have been a few complaints on Budget Light Forums about dud Nitecore i4s, so I think there are copies and then the real deal. Spend the extra, buy from the local importer and make sure you are safe. An LI battery fire is not something you need.

I'd put money on they are not fakes, where do you think 95% of everything is manufactured? ;)

*shrug*
Guys buying them in the US & UK aren't complaining about them. Guys buying them from China have.
So a) counterfeit or, quite possibly b) those that are seconds quality are being flogged off through the direct sales internet channels.
