Not sure what you're talking about. The 40 dollar one may not be as advanced, but does essentially the same thing. Charge a battery without killing it. It has pulse width modulation, not some kind of ancient on off regulator and automatic float charging mode, which will act like a trickle charger once the battery is full.
Your post is kind of off topic anyways, as this thread is for bargains and special finds. That Ctek one is pretty nice, but more of a product recommendation than a bargain.
Here is the link to the eBay one vtl has. I also have this one and if you later wish to flash your ECU with a backend flash or custom map with MHD app, you're safer off with a charger rated above 10 amps just in case your battery drops below the minimum voltage during a flash.
