That's only $65 Can. Perhaps they mean 6.5 amps.
Interesting. I've seen more and more Chinese knock-offs but after the 48 V charger for my Ebike failed and I had a chance to see what they built, I'm uneasy with their quality. Sad to say, I've been frustrated at not getting a clean set of specs from the Chinese importers. Still, it might have some excellent parts.

You might ask the seller if they can share the "User's Guide." If so, look carefully for any power up order limitations (what caught me) or cautions about static charge protection. Still, nice specs and a great price ... almost too good.
