It now appears the eTopxizu "Cheapowatt" is claiming overload protection circuitry.

Or perhaps it always claimed these protections and I did not notice back on page 1 of this thread.
Or perhaps they followed this thread or read some reviews and decided to add the terms to the product description.
And perhaps they added the circuitry necessary to prevent magic smoke release when feeding a hungry battery.
If they did, and it actually limits itself to pre buzzing, pre magic smoke releasing levels, this is quite a deal. Especially if it does a constant current limiting on overload instead of shutting off.
But I won't be trading in my MeanWell.
