I have been at their web site too, and have read the info in some detail,
and I can say that they emphasize 'on board charger and power supply
circuits' which means, they most likely have some sort of switching
supplies on board. In that case, the person on the phone may have made
sense, and the specified 5V +/- 5% is the internal regulated voltage.

hope this helps,
