I'm about to buy one of the Chinese 48V hubmotor kits. It comes with a charger for a LiFePO4 battery. I'm trying to find out how reliable the various available chargers are. Have any of you, tried one of the following chargers?

"Vpower.hk" sells a 5-Amp charger with a PVC shell, see Ebay item 220501785341.
"Vpower.hk" also sells a 5-Amp charger in an aluminum shell, see Ebay item 220501789692.
"Cammy_cc" in Hong Kong, sells a 5-Amp "Black Iron" charger, see Ebay item 170396002433.
"All-battery" in Fremont, Calif., USA, sells an "intelligent 2-Amp Charger", see Ebay item 330328842592.
"conhismotor.com" in Shanghai, includes a charger with its batteries, see Ebay item 110450183187. They don't describe it.
"comcycleusa" in southern California, USA, includes a 4-Amp charger with their batteries, see Ebay item 310175232338.

Several battery vendors like "Volgood" in Hong Kong, "Cammy_cc" in Hong Kong, and "Ep-battery" in Hong Kong, seem to offer one or the other of these V-power chargers with their LiFePO4 batteries. Plus "Cammy_cc" seems to offer his own, as noted above. There may also be other makes and models of chargers I haven't seen.

Other vendors offer 48V chargers for SLA batteries, but I am not so interested in those.

Have you had a charger for your LiFePO4 batteries? What make and model, or what vendor did you get it from?

If it has been reliable for you, please say so!
And if it HASN'T been reliable, please say so!

Thanks all!
 
I have a CammyCC charger, it looks just like all the other Vpower chargers (Vpower sticker and all) . Its got a noisy fan, but seems to do the job (battery reads 56v on CA, which I'm told is normal). I've had it almost a month, and it charges a 48v 20ah from roughly half every night. Too early to tell, but so far so good.
 
Whatever you get, buy two. Seriously. A good one will last quite awhile, but a second will come in handy even if both work great.
