 Basically a "GO - NO GO" Tester October 3, 2008
G. Martin (Cockeysvill, MD)
Construction wise it is okay.
Layout, design, ease of use is great.
Simple to use and looks like it would last a long time.
I do not have it in front of me at the moment (I'm at work).
There are several LCD bars ranging from dead to poor, to weak, to good.
(Again I believe)...Each range has about 4 or 5 bars within a group or 16 to 20 bars total.
Problem is with a fully charged "rechargable" the checker shows or highlight in the middle of the 'good'. I also tested a battery that had been in a wall clock for over a year (clock was dead stopped) it read at top end of the weak or about 2-3 marks below the fully charged NiMH just now charged.
I suspect a brand new alkaline may be able to get a little higher than middle of the 'good' range.
Bottom line:
If you are using rechargables, do not buy the T-333.
If you are using alkaline, you will be able to detect brand new and not brand new. There may be a subtle difference between used and dead.
The best tester for rechargable batteries which I got the same day as T-333 is the ZTS MINI BATTERY TESTER.
The best tester/charger which I also got the same day is the La Crosse BC900.
Also the following is what I've read, have not verified myself yet.
There are two types of NiMH batteries.
Very high capacity around 2600 maH.
These slowly lose there charge on the self.
The other type is pre-charged around 2000 maH
These hold there charge over a year self life.
Also Sanya enevelope or something like that are the ones to get.
 Best tester I found September 9, 2008

I searched a while on the internet before selecting which battery tester to purchase, and I am extremely happy with this one that I selected. Of all of the testers (which were fairly inexpensive) this one seemed to be the best quality and made to last a long time. All of the other testers seemed cheap and the reviews for them stated how they broke after the first use-I had 2 baskets full of batteries, of all sizes and was able to test all of them and the tester worked amazingly-and still does. I would recommend this product to anyone.
 Good, Repeatable Results August 25, 2008

For the most part, I have to echo the other reviews of this battery checker. A good buy; a good instrument. However, I have issue with the scale on the device. When it reads 'Weak' the batteries are indeed 'Poor'. In fact, a mid-scale reading of 'Weak' actually means "ready for disposal". I thought at first it was just a difference in semantics so I removed my batteries that read 'Weak' from the tester and put them into a Mini-Maglite flashlight. An almost invisible, pale orange glow was all that was produced - not a functionable battery at all. Once you realize where the true line between a good battery and a weak one actually is on the tester's scale, then this tester becomes a 5-star instrument and gives good, repeatable results.
Works Great July 4, 2008

This is a much better battery checker than the older analogue one I've been using. Now, I can accurately check the state of the batteries from our many camera's and not throw out the good with the bad. Very compact and easy to use.
Exactly what I was looking for. June 22, 2008

This battery tester does exactly what I was looking for. It tells me if my batteries are still powered up. You always wonder if those darn batteries that have been sitting in the closet for a long time are still fully charged. This battery tester does the trick. It accommodates all the size batteries we commonly use. I recommend this item.
