Is this Xtar VC2 Charger Fake

[waxb18]

Hi guys
So my trusty old XTAR VC2 charger which had served me well has finally started to give up on me with the usb port becoming temperamental.
So off to Amazon last night and today...hey presto a new charger....but not what i was expecting...

First off i recall the packaging of my first one to be black and yellow and came with a nice pouch.
New one....
With no pouch



Logos on old unit (left) and new unit are different.


Backs are different


But screens are the same (no photo so youll have to take my word)

Question is.. have I been sold a dud.

Looks to be updated logo got mine from fogstar and branding same as yours although a vc4 so looks fine, packaging same type as mine and I got a pouch but maybe they don't with the vc2 anymore

Black and yellow are nitecore packaging colours aren't they?

Not necessarily fake. As above Fogstar have the same version as yours
