ZTS Mini Multi-Battery Tester

It load check batteries not just the voltage and is a good addition to those who use rechargeables. I feel it could be a little better in layout and but otherwise, great!

It's easy to use and accurate. We have used this for a few years in one of our locations and we're getting a second one for a another location.

Ist OK Preis etwas zu teuer

The ability to specifically test both 1.5V Alkaline and 1.2V NiCd/NiMH (as well as 9V button and 3/3.6V Lithium) makes this a very handy unit to use. Granted, other general-purpose testers can usually do 1.2V batters the same as 1.5V Alkaline, however, they normally just provide a slightly lower reading. I would not bother using any battery tester unless it tests under load, like this one does, unless you just need a few AA's for a remote or something very light. Both the above reasons- testing over 15 battery types and under loading conditions, are why I gave a 5-star rating. I use 4 NiMH cells to power this tester, and seem to get the same results as if Alkaline ones were used. I have enough rechargeable that I can swap out all four with freshly charged ones, and test the set that was in it, to make sure my readings stay accurate. Given that it has a testing lead, I would have liked to see a continuity test or bulb/fuse checking function. I have a multimeter I use for this, so it is not that big of a deal. Also, I do not like the power auto-off alone: I think pressing the button on the unit should also turn it off immediately. The only difficulty I have had and a related trick I would suggest is this: Try putting the test lead on the center of the negative end of a battery, and if the result is abnormally low, try placing it more toward the outer edge to get a truer results. I think sometimes through lots of use and maybe due to the internal chemistry of some batteries, the conduction is not always consistent across the entire negative side. I own one I have used for a few years, and just purchased one as a holiday gift for a loved one- Highly rated, and a better value that those <$5 testers where the terminals tarnish and no load testing is performed.
