I dont think risking an explosion with it next to your face is worth the saving of a few £££s or $$$$s. Apart from the fact that cheap chargers can also set fire to batteries is charged incorrectly, its just not worth it.

DISCLAIMER I'm not associated with Goki

I'm using GOKI for NK BL5J as a spare battery for N900. Its sticker says "Made in Japan", though I'm 100% sure that it's manufactured in China and packaged in Japan. It even comes with a USB charger in one package. I'm not sure about its price, because it comes with my N900 as a gift pack, so I think it's pretty cheap.

Below please find the hal-device dme dumps for your reference:
