handy way to sort out battery drawer

I saved myself some time and money with this handy, light weight
battery tester. My grandson helped me check all my "old" batteries
for usefulness. We found many that still had lots of useful life
left. The others were disposed of properly- drawer is now cleaned out!
I also took this on a recent trip - those digital cameras say change
battery- sometimes need a rest instead. Here is a way to check. It takes
a minute to get the hang of how to use it, but then it's easy.

what's not to love??

Economically priced, simple, never needs batteries, saves me money by knowing what batteries to toss and which to keep. (Also saves lots of aggravation.) I love this little sucker! Woulda gave it 5 stars but gave it 4 as it was not USA made I don't think.

Great for the price

I looked at a few battery testers before buying this one based on the reviews on Amazon. This is a great battery tester for the price, except for one minor flaw. 3/4 of the dial is the Red ("Replace") zone, and 1/4 of the dial to the right is the Green ("Good") zone. Which means that it really doesn't distinguish too well between batteries that are fully charged and those that are about to run out of juice. I wish the display was a little more granular. But, all in all, great for the price.

It works!

This is a pretty handy little tester. The only problem I've had with it is that the opening (swinging the arm up) is meant to be done one handed, with the thumb. If you try that you end up shooting it off into the next room. Best to just pop it open with the hand you're holding the battery in and slip the battery in, letting it close automatically.

Other than that it's great. Even the kids use it.

Simple, easy to use, and actually effective

Judging from the pictures, this device looked extremely "old-school", but surprisingly it worked well. I think it's most useful to test a few batteries here and there, as it can get time-consuming if you have a bag of 100 or so. Overall, I'd recommend this because it's inexpensive and useful.
