As I said earlier, compare the lifespan of Infenion MOSFETS and other semiconductor components with their copies or equivalents from certain parts of the world, then the price differences, and you will soon know a) why the some chargers can be purchased for circa £15 and b) why others cost circa £60.
The LIDL and ALDI chargers are very good value, in that they are equivalent to £20 chargers being sold for £13. If you are happy with such a device, great.
But, always ask yourself, with a modern car's electronics worth £5k to £20k, is the difference between £13 and £60 material?

Maninder, you've just cited the reason for existence of that wonderful new fangled invention that's taking the world by storm. It's called a fuse. You can buy one for £320, which is sure to be of a vastly higher quality than the 20p ones that are sold in motor factors
