This is a battery medic clone that is better than the hobbyking one. the hobbyking one is ALWAYS wrong. this is spot on 3.87 accross the board and confirmed by multiple other balancers, and the HK medic is always off by .03 on each cell.

I have one, it works well, but I wouldn't call it amazing.

Just beware that people ordering "good" clones from various ebay places have sometimes gotten good ones, and sometimes bad ones. There are a number of versions of them around, and I expect many sellers of them have more than one version in their stock, and don't knwo or care which one gets sent out. To them, they are all teh same.

So there's a chance that even if you order more from the same seller, they could be different ones than you got this time.

AFAICR even the HK ones sometimes are good and sometimes are not, for the same reason.

Check out Method's thread on the ones he found, it has a lot of info in there.

yeah ive been reading that thread, this has the red board and the green display. yeah maybe its not "amazing" but it is dead on accurate and costs 12 dollars. what else could you ask for. ive ordered a number of these and they havent changed up yet, always the same so far.

These things are, like pretty much all cheap, Far Eastern made stuff, a complete gamble. You may get lucky, you may not. You probably won't get the same thing twice with different orders, as there are many factories in paces like China that make seemingly identical looking parts, all without any true branding (because the old Chinese manufacturing culture is not to brand anything with the real makers name).

Just because one person gets lucky with an ebay buy is no assurance at all that anyone else will. A very large proportion of stuff on ebay is being retailed by small entrepreneurs who wander around the big electronics street markets in places like Shenzhen (Google Huaqiang North Road electronics market to see what I mean), buy up interesting looking, no-name stuff really cheaply from vendors there, and then retail it, often from their homes. When the need more stock they go back to the market and may well get something outwardly the same but made by a completely different factory. It's just the way things work in China, and very different to the way things work here.

yeah for sure they could change up, i'm just saying my experience has been positive. so if anyone likes to gamble with china, this atleast is possible.
