 Meters are inconsistentMay 15, 2010
The test under simulated load was the selling point for me on this tester.
I purchased two of these meters and the same batteries gave different readings on the two meters. While testing the same fresh batteries, one meter swings to the top of the good (green) range, the other meter needle swings almost one eighth of an inch less.
This suggests the quality control is questionable. In spite of inconsistency between meters, at least it will give a relative idea of the battery charge under load. The price is reasonable, so you can't expect too much.
 Nice to have aroundMay 14, 2010
I am finally done wondering if a product or its batteries are the reason for product failure - this thing saves me lots of time and money determining which batteries to recycle and which still have some life in them. I mostly use rechargeable batteries but even those can be tested to determine if the batteries are still good - or still holding a charge.
Great little meter for the money!May 11, 2010
Great little meter for the money but still can't figure out how to test button batteries which it says it will do. If that is what you want to test, then this is not the meter for you but otherwise it is easy to use and a great price.

 Save You MoneyMay 04, 2010
I purchased the Tekton because it advertises that it will check a battery under a load. I found that this 9 dollar unit is no better than the 2 dollar one. I have a nose hair trimmer and according to the Tekton the AA battery is good (green) but the blade barely moves. If I replace the battery with a fresh one, well it's night and day. Don't waste your money, buy the cheaper one. It does the same job.

 Not that goodMar 15, 2010
1.The product I received did not look like the one in the picture.
2.You cannot test Button Cell Batteries. The moving arm does not fully close and it leaves a gap of half an inch. I do not know about you but my button cell batteries are smaller than half an inch.
3.Testing the light Bulbs was not that easy.
4.I could not figure out how to check "Battery Capacity Under Simulated Load Conditions". Maybe this was on the model that I paid for but not received?
Everything else worked fine but you can get that for $1 instead of spending $10 for this one.
I returned it.
