I bought the same 'fake' charger from Hobbyking when I got back into the hobby. I was a little worried but most of the reports seemed fairly good, most went along the lines of "I've had one for months and its fine" and the bad ones were always "I knew a guy, who had a mate, who had one and it blew up"
Anyway I took the risk. It's been great, I've tested the voltage on a voltage checker and multimeter after a full charge and it does not exceed 8.39v.
I'm sure they're all not that bad. You can actually calibrate the voltage using a multimeter and amending the charger, so its accurate. Mine was dead on anyway.
