    I need one of you guys to jump on this and report back if it's the real thing or not (LOL)... Last time I spotted a "deal" on eBay was the Scottybilt 10K winch for a ridiculously low price and it did turn out to be fictitious as many of us discovered the hard way.

    This may be one of those "too good to be true deals"...

    Compared to the size of the controller it looks like a small 12”x12” or so panel like you see on an electric gate or a battery tender. My 200w panels are 48”x48” combined.

    Yup you’re right. 11.3” x 11.3”. I used one of those charge controllers on my Yamaha Rhino and in no time the USB port pulled out of the unit - junk. Also pretty good if you can get 200 watts out of a solar panel that’s only 11” x 11” - that would be downright remarkable. The deal gets even more “remarkable “ if you scroll down where they sell for $33. All bogus….

    Looks like someone is importing Chinese made copies of a US companies' products (ie: a US company has something made in China, a Chinese company copies the item and sells it to guys like this)

    $54 for a 200 watt monocrystalline solar panel is very cheap, not to mention the controller, etc. Check the dude's feedback. He sells a lot, but has a lot of complaints about crappy products.
