Default What what WHAT????!!!

Ummm..... TeamOrion, you have GOT to be kidding. Its the EXACT SAME charger, specs and all and your making peeps pay a 100%+ price markup? Wow, talk about highway robbery here folks.

We have the well known Thunder AC6 charger for a very nice price of $55

My goodness, I think someone is making a killing in China for selling "cloned" chargers to a variety of companies and then passing on some insane and plain unfair markups to consumers. Just change the color and a nice, new sh in lable and wallah, instant rip off!

Do your research folks, companies like Team Orion just love to prey on the uninformed consumer.


EDIT:

Here's an even closer look at how even the innards are exactly the same for the most part
