It should. I would be wary of eBay sellers - sometimes the goods are fakes coming from China despite where the seller says they are.
My suggestion is to buy from a hobby store you trust.

I just got mine several days ago and it’s fake. SOBs even have IMAX B6 printed on them. Very deceiving. Still seems to work. I just ordered the Imex X150AD charger from Erik. I like the touchscreen feature.

If you made payment using PayPal or a credit card, you have a case to claim your money back, especially as it is fraud.

Good advice but I’ll just keep it. It was only $23 and now I’ll have a backup.

That's a very risky backup, and why should fraudsters get away with it.
But it's your money, and your decision.

Well, I’ve been using it for several days and I’ve already changed the Tamiya style connector to an XT60. It was after the fact that I realized that fakes were common (learned that on this forum) and after some internet research I discovered mine was “counterfeit”. I should’ve been more aware when I was shopping. My bad. But it seems to function well enough to keep it.
Here’s the offender. Looks close to the real thing.
