Easy to use and checks most commonly found batteries in your household. Very pleased with this battery checker.
same batteries you just tested GO DEAD.It does not tell you where it was made on the package (thus internet only product).but you can bet it was Asian = with all the GREAT FALSE REVIEWS (they can have the people power to do reviewing all day and everywhere).Find a better battery testerPS: Thanks Amazon for letting me warn others about this junk.Amazon tries to give you a good product, but too bad they took their phone lines overseas - people in India can speak English, but can not understand it, and we baby boomers can NOT understand them through their heavy accents.maybe some day America will be put back together for the Americans. Anyone reviewing this battery tester above a ONE STAR is definitely an employee of the company that's trying to sell these things - - won't give a reading on anything but AA and AAA batteries - - rates them GOOD to HIGH in power - - so you take your camera to a family function, and BANG.
Certainly worth the money to have a tool which is not only simple to utilize in telling you the remaining life of various small batteries.
For anyone wanting a simple "go or no go" tester, perhaps this will do the job. Even with this. The problem is that there are supposed to be 18 gradients of battery life, with 1-5 for POOR, 6-10 for FAIR and 11-18 for GOOD.
After receiving my request, the customer service department at Battery Superstore wrote back stating that although they were sorry I did not like the charger, they would charge me a 10% restocking fee plus the $6.00 shipping charge, and I would pay the return shipping. however, I would still be losing most of my money on the unlucky purchase, so I decided to keep the tester. I wrote once more to question the charges for returning defective merchandise, and they responded that the charger was good, but they would kindly waive the $1.20 restocking fee.
This battery checker does not perform as advertised. Aside from not being sensitive as advertised, it would not give readings for 2 of 12 battery sizes advertised. I will be very careful not to purchase from the Battery Superstore in the future.
But all these levels appear to be mainly for eyewash, since this tester will show most used batteries to have a full 18 level of GOOD. But if you expect true sensitivity to accurately check batteries having various remaining charges, then this item will probably disappoint you.Since it cost $18.99 with shipping, I decided to request return of the tester to the vendor, Battery Superstore.
It is small, compact and easy to use. With so many products using so many diffferent types of batteries today, this handy little tool is so convenient for checking all my battery needs.
