Think this is a safe battery charger for my GNex battery?

Anyone have an opinion on whether this charger is safe to use?

I just received this from ebay for my Sprint GNex battery.

I've used this brand before with my EVO 4G, and never had a problem.

But, though they're manufactured by the same Chinese company (Yiboyuan), my EVO battery charger had the CE mark (no UL mark), which gave me a little comfort as to it's basic quality and safety. (Perhaps naive on my part, but still...)

The GNex one has no such markings.

Should I be concerned about it catching on fire or causing my batteries to explode? ;)

Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much; it'll limit the charging amp (I believe it's 1 amp for AC, 500mA for USB). I use anything and everything with a microUSB. Risky? Maybe. But at least it's charged :).
