Fake or genuine?

They are only about 200 here so by the time you add postage and get hit for import duty ur no better off and may even have warranty issues ;-)

They certainly look like the real deal...

Dollars in the USA usually become pounds here. So probably genuine. Don't forget, you would have to pay Import Duty then VAT on top of the whole lot.

What about that new fatboy 8 made by the same company,there was a post about it a few weeks ago about £120 if my memory serves me right.

Cabbie,
I don't know whether you spotted it but the new PL's come with ec5s on the input power wires instead of the large crock clips they used to come with.
I had a charger I couldn't use unit I "made" a connector to fit.

If anything it is a little expensive from there, here is the FMADirect link:

Cellpro PowerLab 8

Note you will need to buy a suitable board and leads to go with it as that is just the charger on its own.

Sorry to be a bit dim then, but can someone confirm what's in the box with these PL8 V2 chargers? It looks like with the original PL8's there was a set of connectors with croc clips on the nd of the inputs, but with the PL8 V2 then the inputs are terminated with an EC5. Do they still supply the croc clip connectors to make up an input connection, or do I need to buy more stuff just to be able to use the charger?

A lot of people were connecting them to a PSU and were removing the croc clips so they fitted the EC5 to let you decide what you wanted to put on the end.

You can buy the croc clips on an EC5 as an option or just fit whatever you want.

You will also need to buy a balance board to suit your packs and a set of leads to connect to the main discharge wires on your pack.

The newer V2 comes terminated with an EC5, the croc clips are an extra now. You do get a Celpro board with the charger so you can charge their batteries.
