I have done electrical tests on the BCR and the “knock offs”. The results are listed below. Because the BCR has a higher capacitance it will take a little longer to charge, but will hold a charge for a longer time. After the track power is turned off the BCR provides more power to shut down the sound system than any “knock off” on the market.

Some suppliers are now offering parts for you to manufacture a "knock off" of the BCR
The cost for these parts alone are $16.00 plus $11.00s/h and are not of the capacity or the quality of the BCR, as the chart has shown.
That's $27.00 and you have to assemble it
For $24.95 and $8.00s/h, that's $32.95. The BCR is completely assembled, ready to use and with 50% greater capacity.
Be sure to check our quantity discounts that will bring the price of a BCR, fully assembled down, to $22.68.
Consider all the facts and you will see that the BCR is a much better deal!
