Best Battery Tester Yet October 22, 2009

It's really that good. Will test just about any small battery made; and several no longer made. Well built, accurate, and very versatile. Will pay for itself in short order due to the tendency for batteries to drain at different rates. Just because the device says battery low does not mean ALL the batteries are low. You will keep batteries that otherwise would have been tossed, and you will be able to not find yourself in a jam because you ventured forth with borderline batteries in your communicator, flashlight, camera, or other important device. Keep it where you store your batteries so you won't have to go hunting for it. I hang mine on a pegboard in the package it came in. This is one of those devices that you may not use daily or weekly, but when you need it your glad its there.
Exactly what I wanted, but not for careless users. October 4, 2009

The closest thing I could find in the local stores was a $20 meter (on sale) that tests only some of the battery types on this one's front panel while providing many other features I don't need (because I have another meter for those). I like having the option of using just one probe while resting the other battery terminal on one of the metal contacts on the panel. BUT, as the users' manual warns, that means it is not idiot proof. Using the wrong probe with the wrong contact will short circuit the battery, which wouldn't do either the battery or the meter any good.
 battery tester should not be this hard to find September 12, 2009

a decent low priced battery tester should not be this hard to find, but it took quite a while to find this product. no local hardware or electronics stores seemed to carry this item or the clerks simply did not know where to find them.
my old tester broke several years ago so i was very happy to get this unit. it works just fine.
Excellent product February 9, 2009

My husband's Sears Craftsman battery tester died after 15-20 years, and I had difficulty finding another that wasn't cheap plastic and/or was battery powdered. This was neither, and turned out to be a great purchase at a great price. It has been used many times in the last 7 months and, with luck, it will continue for many years to come.
Finally, a tester that works. January 7, 2009

I have bought at least 3 other cheap testers (under $10). This is the only one that actually works and it works very well.
